I modified it cos i made an error... I still posted the same message.

Make una dey try dey learn!

I like this idea. Have you ever tot of having it big? Like a wind mill ? Where I reside in Lagos we have a big balcony and the breeze always pushes our rubber chair around. I always imagined if we had a wind mill.

Leopantro:


I got it from someone that repairs microwave ovens and washing machines.

Leopantro:
Instead of using your hands, you can Google plans on how to create a windmill and use the spokes to attach the wings. The whole setup can be placed in an area with adequate ventilation and the wind will turn it for you.
To be more creative, you can use it to create a water wheel of you reside close to a fast flowing river.
Granted it's slow in charging a phone but it's better than nothing.

aytuns:
It's a good idea,, great video teaching basic physics, and it actually has me thinking.. But the question is, what will generate the torque? Will one have to keep applying manual energy to the shaft just to turn it? If not how then can that be turned?? Cos that's the essence of the petrol in our generators, or the gas in our gas turbines, or water for our hydro dams... So how do we turn that dynamo/alternator, without the hand??

sukkot:
how about connecting it to a motor and car battery ? use the car battery to run the motor and the motor to run the wind mill thing and connect the car battery to an alternator to charge it synchronously and attach the alternator to an inverter which gets its juice from the car battery
thats the best i can think of right now

This is a wonderful setup; didn't even think to this Level. Will look into this, thank you.

sukkot:
it works all the time. we have used it to power light bulbs and things when camping in remote parts of the world with no electricity and no fuel

Leopantro:


What's the maximum load and type of devices you have connected to it?

darlenese:
Buhari generator , just like the Abacha stove in those days

Mightyraw:

Man if at 2016 all u still care about us booking space while ignoring d important aspect...man u gat it wrong
.
.
Well u don't quote u for saying DAT ...I only did for arguing and and being aggressive on d guy DAT called u out....
So u stand corrected

Forget it, it can never work. Many people have tried that and have failed woefully. At best it'll work for a few minutes but once the car battery fully discharges its electric energy, it goes off. It can never work indefinitely.

If it were to work in that manner then we would have solved the world energy problem, no need for petroleum anymore. Everyone would have the system in his house.

It can't work because it goes against the simple law of nature which states that energy can never be created or destroyed, rather it changes from one form to another.

sukkot:
thats why we have the alternator charging the battery synchronously so it never gets fully discharged and the alternator is run from the juice from the battery via the sinewave inverter. its a self looping, self charging system

dorox:


No machine is 100% efficient, so between the the power draw of any device connected to the generator and energy loss from the inefficiency of your battery - motor- alternator set up you will have a net power drain. That is why it has not been possible to make a perpetual motion macnine.

sukkot:
thats true. NO MACHINE. however this setup is similar to the wiring of a car

Leopantro:
No fuel?
No electricity?
Why don't you make the world's smallest generator.
Cost about N2k.
At least charge your phone and tablets with it

At maximum rotation, it produces up to 400V so be careful to avoid electric shock.
To understand the principle behind it and how to modify it to your need, see the video

dorox:


In what way is it similar to the wiring of a car?

sukkot:
alternator charging the battery as it is being used

dorox:


This is by no means the world's smallest alternator .You should stop making baseless claims out of ignorance.

Leopantro:


I found a practical application of this device.

Potenco Power Generator.

The company claims that one minute of pulling its human-power electricity generator can give a user 1 hour of light, 25 minutes of mobile phone talk time, 45 minutes on the Nintendo DS, and an impressive 230 minutes of iPod shuffle music - about one song per pull!

I said generator not alternator

joey150:
o.p na ignorance dey worry dem...if i had mb i would have watched.. But I'll save the link. Thanks




To the mumu"s above me..have sense pls.

Chai, Bebe you no be small pikin o as you sabi Abacha stove.
