The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

Wind-Powered Area Light LED in low wind

A small wind turbine drives an area light. The LEDs in the light have a 34 year life expectancy. Silent, vibration-free, and totally self-contained with batteries, charge controller, and generator. You can have light ANYWHERE with these. These will ship with the whole turbine UL-approved. Based on measured current and using Peukert’s Formula, we estimate […]

Wind Powered LED

A video tutorial that explains how to make a wind powered LED out of an old VCR and a pinwheel

Pokewalker Wind Powered Piston

Made this for fun, I was pretty bored today. Depending on how much wind there is (I won’t actually use the fan), it is getting around 7500 steps per hour now, I’ll upload a video with the improved design soon. Inspired by i.imgur.com

Wind energy with Hydrogen production

The 4 Power Plant differs in substantial characteristics from conventional wind-powered devices: · simultaneous use of wind and solar energy in a compact plant · maximized wind and photovoltaic surfaces on smallest area · modular and durable structure · small manufacturing costs · small maintenance costs · high reliability in operation · simple and temporally […]

How do you connect a solar panel and wind generator in parallel?

I have an ~18v solar panel and a ~15v wind turbine. Sometimes one generates more voltage than the other. How would I get both of them to charge one ~12v battery? I can’t just connect them in parallel with diodes, because in that case, only the higher voltage source gets used. Is there a special […]
