Author:ahmedebeed555 Embedded Egypt
Embedded Systems Engineer. Love to travel , run , design useful stuff and grow green plants. I joined instructables.com on 2008 and my first instructable
was on April 2013. But sure I cannot live without posting new instructables and seeing good and creative ideas by others.
The huge number of people on instructables who successfully built different sizes and shapes of practically working wind turbines has motivated me to build my own next
level wind turbine to have higher scale of power output.
I know, when it comes to technical appeal ,engineering calculations or technology practices TurbineOne is not very awesome.
Believe me, I'm not so handy when it comes to mechanics and using power tools.

Step 1: Generator
This is the most important piece of equipment for your wind turbine.
Actually, it was the first thing I started to look for when I decided to build my own wind turbine.
I thought to buy a DC motor from any hardware store who sells this kind of motors as a spare part for any appliance
Then I found an old blender motor that has a permanent magnet inside it.

Step 2: Material
This wind turbine is 100% recycled. I got all parts from scrap and used stuff.
It took me a long time to collect some of the materials used for building it, but you can just buy them or be lucky to find them easier than I did.
PVC pipe --------- > I found an old PVC pipe of suitable length to be used as turbine blades.
5 CD roms ------- > I used old CD Roms and DVD as wind turbine hub.
I found out that CDs is thicker than DVDs.
Fax paper plastic roll ----- > used as a coupler between CD roms and motor shaft.
Some screws.
Some wires.
I added this instructable to the Leftovers contest because it is made of 100 % up-cycled and old leftover stuff.

Step 3: Tools
This project is made using fairly power tools. Please be careful when using these stuff.
- Saw
- Screw Driver
- Sand paper
- Pliers

Step 4: Hub Assembly
I started by the turbine hub.
Use the sand paper in cdrom center to make the plastic tube fit into it.
Put CDroms and DVDs around the plastic pipe and motor shaft.

Step 5: Blades Assembly
I wanted to cut the turbine blades into the usual turbine blades shape.
I really liked the idea of using PVC pipe as a fan blade. I got this idea from the internet.
But when I got the old PVC pipe I stated by drawing the fan blade on a template to draw it on the PVC pipe.
Then I couldn't get the tools to cut pipe in the fine shape of the fan blade.
So I've chosen to make the easy way and cut the PVC pipe into straight three equal pieces.
But how are these pieces going to generate rotational motion from the wind.
I decided to install each blade on the hub so it becomes nearly perpendicular to the hub and the round shape of the pipe does the rest.

Step 6: Turbine Assembly
I installed the hub around the motor and secured then together using the fax paper plastic tube.
Then I cut the extra piece of plastic from the small plastic tube.
I drilled the metallic tube to install screws to fix the two tubes together.
TO DO :
I 'll make a battery charging circuit and connect a sealed Lead-Acid battery to make a steady supply power source.
