DO IT YOURSELF PAGE

 

 This page is dedicated to the do it yourself, that wants to save money, or just likes to take on a project and do it himself.
There are various projects easily done, and with the guidance of my plans, books, and components to buy  on this page, and a very informative forum to guide you even on a new renewable energy project, we can work alongside to make your impact on the environment minimal.
I have uploaded a few videos of my own experiences at making wind turbines, solar air heaters, and solar panels, my youtube user name is: Humbertini900, and here's a link to my videos:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm8yRIWonJI, I hope you enjoy my videos,  please rate them and subscribe because the "mission has only just started".

Below are some components that I have used and liked them, so I can sell them to you by knowing that they are a good kit, any questions please contact me on: customerservice@windchasers.eu, thank you
 
Future energy permanent magnet generator/ 12v/24v/48v
 The heart of any wind turbine is the alternator and I can tell you that they are very solid built, very good output at low rpm, the 12v peaks at 600 watts and 24v and 48v at 1kw, we also sell the blades for them, and since its ac power it needs to be rectified to dc, and we can sell you the rectifiers made by the manufacturer to insure the guarantee on the alternator remains valid, if interested please send me an e-mail

Price: £235 inc Vat/270euros + postage

They usually retail at £244.69 inc vat so there's a little saving by getting from us, visit the supplier's website and prices at:http://www.futurenergy.co.uk/turbine.html

Here's 2 videos of 2 home made wind turbines that powers my house one uses the above alternator, the other is an ametek:

Wind Turbine Blade Sets  £210 + postage

Wind Turbine 1.8 Metre Blade Set    

These wind turbine blade sets are constructed to the highest of standards, and are used at the heart of our 1KW downwind range.  They can easily be adapted to suit other turbines, and will produce up to 1.2kW of power in 12.5m/s winds.  The blade set comes in kit form, including 5 x high-spec blades, manufactured in black PAG material (virtually indestructible, and don't require painting), with 2 x 5-blade hubs (black anodised finish) and location pitch pins (25 degree root angle).  Once assembled, the complete rotor, measuring 1800mm in diameter, can be adapted to suit many power generators, and will perform best in the 300 to 900 RPM range.  The hub is supplied with enough nuts & bolts to assemble the complete rotor, and has 5 mounting holes, each of 6mm in diameter, positioned in a pentagon shape at a PCD of 90mm.  The main boss hole in the hub has a diameter of 74.6mm, and care should be taken to accurately, securely and centrally mount the completed rotor on to your intended application.

 In order to achieve the best results from these blades, the final rotor assembly should be balanced by the user prior to being used in any application.  Neither windchasers .eu, nor the blade manufacturers accept any responsibility for any issues arising from unbalanced rotors in any application.  Each blade set will be supplied with instructions on how to perform a ‘static balance’ of the assembled rotor, and it is the user’s responsibility to ensure that every effort has been made to address any balancing issues prior to using these blades.  

SOLAR CAN AIR HEATER

Solar can air heater plans, using available materials from your diy store  

 

You have probably seen my videos on you tube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6AvS8Di2TY

 This is probably one of my most successful builds, it works really nice, most new houses have some sort of thermostat for heating and the way it works is during the day this device gets the cans VERY hot, sends that warm air into your house with the help of a 12v fan, and raises the temperature by almost half of outside temperature so after 2 years although the thermostat on my boiler is set for 19c, the boiler has only been on for heating at night time probably 3 weeks every year, try it you won't be disappointed, all the materials you can get it from local wickes, b&Q, or builders merchant. These plans will be sent to you via e-mail.

Price for the online plans £4.99 / 8euros

 

DOC Wattson R102 Digital Panel Meter, a must have for your wind generator,solar panels, I have one and I love it.


Doc Wattson R102 Panel Meter


Pictured above is a variant of the Watt's Up Meter - the DOC Wattson R102 Digital Panel Meter. The Doc Wattson R102 is basically the same as the Watt's Up model WU100 pictured above, but it has been modified to measure systems which maintain high currents for long periods of time - therefore making it perfect for renewable energy systems.

The Doc Wattson R102 is particularly useful for measuring the health of both individual batteries
and 12V, 24V, 36V, or 48V battery banks. Battery charging efficiency (BCE) is measured comparing the discharge energy to the charge energy, and battery health (baseline capacity ratio) is calculated by comparing its charge capacity with the battery manufacturer's specifications (entered by user).

  Ea 300 Handheld wind speed meter


Our most popular handheld wind meter. Simply measures instant wind speed, measuring units are user-selectable between km/h, mph, m/s or knots.

The EA3000 is reliable and robust and can handle wind speeds of up to 67 mph. Extremely portable as it weighs less than 100 grammes and can fit easily into any pocket, alternatively you can carry it using the detachable neckband included.

The LED backlight lights up during measurement and dims after 8 seconds. The unit has an auto-off function to preserve the battery.

Dimensions: (H x W x D) = 98 x 39 x 17mm

Price: £37 / 39Euros + Postage
