South, even at 5:00 a.m. when I have to go catch the bus for school. Step 1: Materials First, you need the right tools • Scissors • Razor • Sharpie • Yard/meter Stick Now, gather your materials • Duct tape. I used two 55-yard rolls, part of a 40-yard roll, and a fluorescent green tape for decorating. I probably spent around $15 for the duct tape. I didn’t use professional tape—just the cheapest I could find. • Masking tape • A large flat surface that you can cut on. I have.
Lengthening the rocket (tubes, extra bottles, etc.). Two to four fins that are symmetrical work best. Keep them small and explain that, because the rockets explode off at more than 100kph, large fins will rip off. A good size is a triangle with hypotenuse of 3–7” and bottom edge of 1–3”. Now introduce the Eggstronaut. Explain that, if the passenger survives, they will get extra marks. They love this. Go over padding and protection if you want, but I find the kids come up with the most amazing.
Turbine By Steve Spence (sspence) (www.instructables.com/id/DIY-1000-watt-wind-turbine/) We built a 1000 watt wind turbine to help charge the battery bank that powers our off-grid home. It’s a permanent magnet alternator, generating three-phase AC, rectified to DC, and fed to a charge controller. The magnets spin with the wind and the coils are fixed, so no brushes or slip rings are necessary. Step 1: Build the Magnet Disks We had 12” steel disks hydro cut. We cut a template for mounting the.
Turbine Mounting Next I needed a mounting for the turbine. Keeping it simple, I opted to just strap the motor to a piece of 2 × 4 wood. The correct length of the wood was computed by the highly scientific method of picking the best looking piece of scrap 2 × 4 off my scrap wood pile and going with however long it was. I also cut a piece of 4” diameter PVC pipe to make a shield to go over the motor and protect it from the weather. For a tail to keep it turned into the wind, I again just used a.
Series . . . makes nice 12 volts. I have been advised that these cells undergo some kind of reaction if first exposed to full sun with no load for about 15 minutes, and that the result is good. I’m told that the result generates more output than if they are not treated this way. Just FYI. I didn’t notice the difference between the panel that had pre-sunned cells and another that didn’t. The cells are glass tiles that appear to be made similar to the Amorphous glass, but they are more efficient.
