I had to cut some parts out of the video, it was a bit long. Anyways, the working turbine is at the end of the video. http://youtube.com/watch?v=-5u4G10dYXM |

Jobs/Vacancies / Find Volunteers Here by member10: 2:16pm On Aug 30, 2014 |
Hi all. Went through the forum and couldn't find a topic related to this on nairaland. So I decided to create it. The Nigerian labour market is one which is very though break into, with millions of unemployed graduates, already employed youths struggling to secure the limited slots available and most employers asking for some certain years of relevant experience, while others ask for a certain class of degree. This thread is for the unemployed graduates who are willing to volunteer at an organisation to gather some experience, who knows you could just end up being employed by the company or firm. It's very simple, just drop a summarised version of your resume here, no personal details, just your email for contact. And any employer who finds your skills useful can contact you. |

I am going to make a video of the whole process, I have some clips and pics I can join together to form a short video, I'll post it when I am done. Once again I want to thank everybody, I can't start listing names but everybody that helped make this possible. Thank you very very much! 1 Like |

firestar:Thanks bro! Wouldn't have been possible without you guys! I really appreciate all the effort and encouragement.. Mynd_44: Hey great work dude. It was really worth the effort. Sorry I have been off lately.I was just about to send you an email. I have been very busy my self, that's why I have not been able to update or mail you all these while, that's nice to hear about yours, sorry about the strike thing, don't worry the journey is almost over(undergrad chapter I mean). I bet you will do an amazing job also,there was a time I started to wish I did VAWT(you always come to mind then). Lol Keep in touch ok!? |

HWatt :Thanks bro. I knew what you pointed out even from the begining, I bet you didnot read through the thread. This your theory is very correct, but in reverse it can NEVER give the rated voltage, it has to be lower, efficiency is not 100%. That was a long time ago, when I was searching for motor, I later found an industrious motor, which I used for the project. Thanks for the input, Good luck with your fuel-less generator. BlackBaron: Impressive work. If only you had better media exposureYeah, the target was 12+ VDC, I was able to put out 9+ VDC I was just a lil bit short of the target output, I did not do any modifications, If I had I am sure I would have been able to achieve it. The location and height is not favorable also, my initial site was not approved by my supervisor, he claimed it could be vandalized. My height was suppose to be 8 meters because of this, but the pole wasn't strong enough to carry the weight, galvanized iron was so expensive. So I had to reduce to 5 meters. If I had found neodymium magnets like the one my friend wants to use for his fuel-less generator, the output would have been magnifico!!! I had to improvise. |

samkoro: Ur blades are too small.They need to be large enough for wind to have a great push and mechanical advantage on it.Yeah, I know it looks that way, but it depends on what the final out put or load is, besides this is a small wind turbine. It is also based on my calculations, I didn't just decide to choose the size. Obviously larger blades = larger sweap area = better efficency/capture more wind. This is just fine and will work for its purpose. ISA. Also, bigger blades= more distance to cover one revolution= more time= slower revolution which is not what need. |

Blades My fav part and most interestinart of the project Although its not finished, but what is left is not much, just to drill the holes for the bolt and smoothen it oust and use resin on its surface.. I am not going to lie though, as it comes close to completion, I am kind of getting scared.. But hey!! Who wouldn't be!

Science/Technology / Re: What Do You Know About Fuelless Generator? by member10: 11:13am On Sep 03, 2012 |
@don & ethnan I actually searched for the neodymium magnets for my project and I couldn't find them, it was so annoying, something you can just walk into a conner shop or walmart to get in the US! But I found out the only place to get surplus was from computer hard drives, but it has this irregular shape and its very small, you need a lot to do something of significance. @ topic I have never heard of it till now, from what I read it is not feasible to me. Logical thinking too. |

homerac7: good one. i must tell u dt d biggest problem i had was material selection. d adequate materials are either not available or very costly to get and fabricate. unfortunately, dats d very very important as wight will dtermine inertia, hence cutt-in speed, availability and general performance. Yeah, exactly! I knew it was goint to be heavy but did not anticipate it to be that much! But its alright, it'll work out for the best. How did yours go? Did it change much of your theoretical expectations? Mynd_44: Keep up the work broThanks man! Where have you been, just thought about sending you a mail. How's yours going? 1 Like |

Hey guys! Its been a while, things have been very hectic for me. The fasting, then its almost exams and all that. Anyways, I have started fabrication and today I got a first look at my project It look just lik the diagram, I didn't take pics but by tomorrow I should takes some pics. I am scared though, its HEAVY!! Tuesday is a seminar(progress report) so I am going to have to put some presentation together and try to woo them. Wish me luck guys. 1 Like |

[size=13pt]you obviously did not do economics in school, I have forgotten what it is called, it is when a country exports what it is most known for and let other countries who have more of what it is less known for to export. For exam If nigeria, ghana, benin, cameroon, togo etc all export coco, who's going to buy from who? You get the point?[/size] |

Though I am not married. Everybody at some point doe feel so, it mostly happens in the earlier days, months of the union. While some, so many years later. Don't believe anybody that says my mariage is so rosy and he's or she's my fantasy, yes they could have it good, but at some point sooner or later, they will have that thought. So, its perfectly normal. Only makes you see the flaws of your other half, accept them for who they are, and make you love them the more. 6 Likes |

Where is your source, how do you know he's a "son of a bauchi politician"? For all we know this could be the cash room of a wealthy business man! And probalby an errand boy was lucky to get access for a few Minutes(what will you do if it was you?) Oh yeah, its possible. We have rich people in this country, I wouldn't be surprised if its legit(through business). Please let's try to be sure before we dish out rubbish. |
