| | 30 Watt DIY Small Wind Turbine Kit |
We have these great windmill kits made for us here in the USA. Very simple to put together - you can be generating wind power in an hour or 2!
Constructed from simple materials like sheet plastic and PVC pipe, these small wind turbines are perfect for someone who wants to experiment with wind energy or for a small cabin system.
Comes complete with 20 feet of wire, ring terminals to go to your 12V battery and everything else you need to build your turbine. Starts charging at a very low wind speed, 3-4 mph. Blocking diode is installed and no charge controller is required.
The units are very small, about 14" long from the tip of the prop to the end of the tailfin.
They come with a blocking diode installed so as not to discharge your battery when the wind isn't turning the turbine.
The main beam (frame) is made of 3/4" steel square tubing and painted black. Plastic plugs are used to cap the ends of the turbing to give a nice, finished apperance.
The downtube (the part that slips into your mounting pole, etc.) is 1" steel and is welded to the main beam.
The tail fin (which keeps it pointed into the wind) is made of inexpensive white plastic and is bolted to the main beam with a pair of bolts.
The generator motor is solidly clamped to the main beam and will not move.
The motor cover is made of pvc plastic pipe and painted. Style and colors of the motor cover may vary.
A two blade 15" prop comes with each unit. It is made of durable plastic and the actual prop color may vary.
The unit comes 95% assembled and anyone can bolt on the tail fin and install the prop in less than 5 minutes.
