Wow, that's a great way to make a turbine. Is that plastic tubing you used to make the blades?<div><br></div><div><br>

Hey peoples...<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
For the last day and half I've been working on a wind turbine powered weather station using an 8 bit/LED POV on the spinning blades for the display...<br>
<br>
I'm trying to one up the neighbors solar LEDs.. lol<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The stepper being used as a generator is mounted to the blades and the<br>
shaft is held stationary to negate the need for slip rings...<br>
<br>
I have the hardware built and am currently working on the code. The<br>
entire system is running under 5 volts (3.5v) which is a first for me...<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The project is semi-written up on my site here <a href="http://krazatchu.ca/?page_id=198" target="_blank">http://krazatchu.ca/?page_id=198</a><br>
I will add the code and eagle files once it's finished...<br>
Let me know what you think...<br>
<br>
Michael<br>
