TOOLBOX

Hello everyone,

In a few days will be uploading videos and photos of the mechanical changes necessary for the wind turbine, will advance while the main things:

1) The generator must be perfectly aligned with the crankshaft (we have replaced the crankshaft with a exactly diameter (3 mm) and perfectly straight rod

2) the supports of the generator have been reversed so that the window-holes make it possible to precisely align the motor-generator shaft

3) the joint between generator shaft and propeller shaft were made on a lathe

4) we think to fix the propeller blades with small screws so that we can adjust the angle of incidence

5) we are thinking about how to achieve an efficient pivot for the rotation of the entire wind turbine, the problem is to ensure both: the rotation, and the electrical contact, we think it is better to prevented by a stop block the 360° rotation, so that electrical contact can be done with simple flexible wires
Then we will pass the first test in a wind tunnel ... ;-)

P.S. my English is almost perfect if you do not understand something is a google blame

Blog management

A little proposal:
in order to avoid confusion on the blog I propose this use:
1. Start the different discussions with a post in the blog;
2. put a label in the post (ex. Youtube channel, meeting, thechnical problems…..)
3. use the comments to reply and contribuite to the discussion
4. when the comments are 20 somebody put a new post with the same label where we continue the discussion.

If we put the list of the labels on the right (under the “Blog archive) we can see all the post with the same label in a page and then find all the discussion.
What do you think? (comments on this post)

We created the channel, I sent you in a private mail the way to enter in it and upload videos. Here the first video from Italy.
We all are waiting for more videos!!!
