Wind and Solar Power How-To Number 2


This is the second video of a small power setup using an AirX windmill and 3 80 watt solar panels. For those that are interested in solar and wind power and would like their first clue on how to start this may be of some help.

  5. vudumojo says:

    Cool.
    Did you buy the wind turbine or make that?
    Also, where do I find these type of 6 volt batteries?

    Thank you!

    you need to clean up the wiring. mite start a fire.

  7. GegoXaren says:

    its 3*(2*6v) [=12v] for the battery?

  8. sailinpeace says:

    where did you buy your panels from?

    That is really cool. You are a very smart man.
    Good job!!!!

    Way to go Dude, I like your set up ver much. I own property in Oklahoma and am planing to do the same thing your doing now. Your video boosted my confidence. I have a year round stream running through my property will be able to add a little with that.. Thanks Again

    3 solar panels, the controllers the meters a 3′ dish antenna, a 5.8 Ghz digital radio and a tractor. Total value around $4000.

    Hey I’m jealous. Your’s is pretty :-)
    No just kidding. Great video and great setup.
    I am looking forward to setting up a new system.
    It was a great learning experience. I will do things different the 2nd time around for sure. One of which will be making things neat and orderly. :-)

    Thanks Skip!

    Dave, nice set up. Check out mine, it powers all my lights and a 19″ color TV at night.

  14. billypopp says:

    Keep dreaming. That’s how good things get invented.

    have you found a way to make it cost effective
    has anyone ever used several car alternaters to recharge battery. thought about getting 5 or 6 alternaters hooked up together running of 20 hp gas motor to power electric car. Know of any place to purchase electric motor for a small car. Can’t seem to find a good website. PS this plan is just a thought maybe a bad one but a thought.

    I have to admit. Making your own electricity is not cheap. Large power companies have the economy of size on their side. There is no way you are going to do it cheaper than them.

    But the trade off (as you inferred) is independence or the illusion of it anyway :-)

    Water power is no magic wand. As with everything, it sounds good on paper.

    My dream is to live in the country off grid without relying on any utility companies. I am dissapointed in the watts that your setup is giving you. What about hydro electricity from a stream/creek/river? I live in Oregon where there are many country properties with some of these.

  18. toxicfrost123 says:

    nope… thats cool

  19. billypopp says:

    Is this a sentence?

    The solar electric system powered a radio tower.

  20. toxicfrost123 says:

    what is the solar power powing anyways light?

  21. billypopp says:

    Hey look in a mirror. I think you have something to get cleaned.

  22. billypopp says:

    Clean your mouth up :-)

  23. turpincody says:

    i cant see shit dude clean that shit up!!!!!!

  24. gumpdy says:

    yep. the guy who stole my stuff had a warrant for his arrest. Meth possession.

    What all did they steal?

  25. billypopp says:

    I’d love to find out who stole everything. It seems it’s the way of the world lately. I guess all the druggies need to keep stoned to handle life or something.
