Harmony Turbines Weekly Whirl 17

We set our 1kW prototype upright on Thursday, just in time for some video during our Weekly Whirl. Unfortunately the wind was pretty weak but still just enough to make Harmony spin outdoors! At this time no generator or auto-furling mechanism is attached. -That will come ASAP.

Hi Christopher,

Greetings for Day.

I am based in Bangalore, India and I designed Customized Radial Flux and Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Alternators let me know if we can collaborate for an Suitable Alternator for your Wind Turbine

Genuine question: Is there any video where you actually have a working model of any size, hooked up, _generating electricity under load?_ Your videos are full of good feelings, and big promises, and high hopes, but I can only find one video where you put one of these out in the wind, and it generated a few volts and no amps and lots of excuses. Where do you have a video that actually shows this machine WORKING?

That should be your priority for your YouTube channel, and it will get you all the views (and sales) you could want. _Show the machine doing what you claim it does._ Promote the hell out of that video, pin it to your channel front page.

Because if you're not generating power, all you've got here is a very pretty and cleverly designed kinetic art sculpture.

Christopher things are coming along just fine and I understand your apprehensive approach.
I must admit I would be tempted to roll it away from the workshop into an open area that’s safe enough to raise it up on the forklift as high as you can especially as it’s a low wind day.
Minimal risk of damage to the turbine and other peoples property as long as it’s bolted down!
Keep the faith and good luck 😉

Love it 💕. I agree with everything you said here. I’ve wondered if a second generator could be clutched or only engaged when wind gets faster before closing .

Looking fantastic!
Keep up the good work!

You are so right... Utilitarian factor is paramount... This design scores on that... Plus safety and aesthetics... Great job...!!!

Happy to see your finished prototype working! ...well the wings part done. Can't wait for the testing phase!

Also people don't realize the residential market is still untapped in America for wind turbines. Even in the NEC, there are only 2 pages of guidelines for wind turbines compared to 8 pages for solar panels!

my company had plans to work with you and get these in the thousands!!! some even asking if you could scale them down to 300-500watt version and we would sell the on mass BUT sadly here the Australia government it PRO fossil fuels and is trying to block funding here from banks and investors... But we are working on a fix hopefully~~! <3 keep it up mate

Love you guys! Looks good!! Its a bummer im not there to enjoy this with you.

[Altenurgy]

You mention at 23 mph it should produce 1 kW. How many watts do you estimate at 12 mph? We're all eager to see a working model producing power! Best of luck.

[michaeljensen]

Wow so frigging cool Chris. Well done guys, Keep up the great work.

[jadensmith]

Will there be a way to throttle the output power? (If it makes more great) but I would love to use this with a Ecoflow Delta Pro It will accept 1200 watts of solar or power wind power from what I understand.

Can you make a comparaison with an Eoliene ?
