3d Printed Wind Turbine Generator

Now a combination of 3d printing materials science and robotics could unleash a new growth spurt for the industry.

3d printed wind turbine generator. Enjoy you can download the files under. Can generate electricity that can be stored using a charge regulator in some batteries. In the next few years the group hopes to finish a full scale wind turbine prototype with 3d printed base a production printer and enough materials to scale. The main element for wind power electricity production is a generator.

Hi folks this is my attempt to make a completely 3d printable windgenerator. It is described as. Thingiverses catch the wind challenge prodoced great 3d printed wind power gadgets from wind generators to fun soap bubble devices. Description mini vertical wind generator with nylon blades and supports printed with 3d printer structure made of aluminum and based on electric motor with a power of 55 watts usable as a current generator or dynamo.

It turned out that it can be used in many different ways. Support this project and tip the designer the 3dpower turbine is the columniation of 3 design iterations and many hundreds of. Ge will design the wind turbines cobod will build the 3d printer and lafargeholcim will make a proprietary blend of concrete for the job. Several designs are publicly available online but this one by ben rowland on thingiverse is a perfect example of a 3d printed structure holding copper coils and magnets making it into an axial flux generator.

The theoretical maximum power of this turbine is 50watt however the stepper motor used as a generator has low efficiency with measured maximum power around 20watt.
