Wind Turbine Resource Page and links to photos

Please add resources, photos etc that you'd like to share with everyone to this page .

• Workshop pictures and a little video of the turbine after we'd put it up
• From Greg: info about old washine machine stators and roters that are great for wind turbines too

Pictures and video

Here's a link to a short video of the turbine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJmyWgW7PM0.
And here are lots of pictures from the course: http://www.flickr.com/photos/transitioncambridge/sets/72157624907235434/. More to come! If you'd like to add yours to the same flickr page I can give you the password.

Greg's washing machine stators

Pete asked me for the info on my LG Stator (36 poles) and magnetic rotor.

People can buy a new Stator and roter from this link below:

They will need to click on the washing machine part link and then enter the correct model number to find the parts. Try model number WM16225FD Then this will show the 2 parts. Rotor (4413ER1001A £25.29) and Stator (4417FA1994E £64.63).

The next info is for rewiring for different voltages is on this very good website: Note that the above Stator is the 36pole version.

Plus alternative hardware set up for this type of wind mill. A central metal plate and shaft will be needed for the above stator as the one shown is an Australian version. Tom still thought it could be set up the way we did on the coarse.
