Another great video. I love your power shed every time I watch I learn something new.

Very interesting. Always learn something from your videos !!

nice video bob keep them coming keep safe both of you

Good afternoon good video and thanks for the information on the last part

Thanks

Great video Gbear! Have a great week! God bless! Tony n Lee Ann

Thank you for the knowledge wanted to start with wind turbine then solar but will have a second thought will start with solar then wind turbine

Hello G bear, your very knowledgeable thank you for sharing this with us. Have a great day. 💕NonnaGrace

well done thumbs up everyone

Wind turbines! That’s interesting! I wonder would we be able to run The Ole Church?

Cool video. I wish I could add a wind turbine like yours. the winter supplement is much more important in Illinois. Short days and clouds. Unfortunately all my systems are in remote trailers off grid with computers and cameras and stuff. it’s very difficult to put a big enough wind turbine on a small trailer that would produce any kind of real power. But if I had a log cabin or something like that off grid it would be helpful for winter time especially. Thx for the video

I'm just getting to the wind turbine part ; I have water in all 20 of my batteries though. The sun was hot but we had a North breeze, which helped my panels put out a little more...but, they're all dirty...I have to help build a barn in the morning, so I'm going out to wash my panels off. I moved my charge controller today...it was buried behind batteries. I put it in front of them so maybe it can run cooler now. I got some " Scrubbing Bubbles " at the discount store. I normally get a little over 30 amps in the morning but today the most I saw was 25. Yesterday it was 101 deg. and no wind...everything was hot and didn't put out much, so it got me to checking things. I re-engineered my bug zapper. The original bulb is strapped on the outside and a 60 watts LED equivalent bulb is in the middle now. It only uses 5 more watts. It attracts flies now. I had to wire brush the screen off today because it was completely covered in dead bugs. I cut a lot of the holes out bigger so the bugs can go in easier without all that plastic in the way. It is popping a moth every few seconds right now. Cheap off grid entertainment, lol.

You know your stuff. I don't always get it all but obviously you do from your results.

G Bear in northern Europe we get much higher winds so here the Solar supplements the Wind ,. Love all your videos

Hey GBear. Thanks for the content. Had a couple of comments for the viewers. For wind turbines.....there is a national wind energy map from the US government that gives the average wind to expect. Almost any wind turbines makes WILD claims of what it can produce. IF you decide on a turbine, you probably would always select one that produces a/c current to minimize the wire costs since you then would mount the bridge rectifier close to the battery bank such as your system. One thing that I am NOT 100% on, but I seem to think IF you are charging a 12v bank you can choose a turbine that is 24 volts and designed for LOW wind so that the CUT-IN voltage(by lower wind) starts the conversion faster so that it charges the 12v battery back easier and thus less wind is needed. Additionally, you're covered for 24v too. Since the turbine output goes through the rectifier, the battery would not see the difference since the rectifier produces a pulse width modulated wave to mimic DC. On off grid solar panels and living in the desert I know of a company called Santan solar near Phoenix and they sell used and/or abused panels and they can be really cheap but with risks. However, for ground mount and things like that they are something to consider. Also, yeah the desert dust is a PITA. I lived in the southwest 30 years and that is another reason to look at some charge controllers that don't have fans. However, those units are smaller. However, the midnite solar classic can be sealed for the dusty environment too. Be safe and happy holidays coming up.

twirly weirly is looking performant

Hallo, Cooles Video😊. So ähnlich sieht das bei mir auch aus. Grüße aus Sachsen/Anhalt in Deutschland

best extremely low wind turbine yet power output as though the wind was much higher is the AirSynergy wind turbines i plan to build an axial flux like that. those turbines are good performers in real low wind. everyone has low winds. actually this was a good video for beginners to open their eyes

Very informative.Are you able to do any welding with your setup?thanks

Unless the blades have a 10 feet diameter, and still have some solar panels. And excellent video as usual TNX

G Bear most wind turbines are rated at 25mph so by that reckoning your 1.8kw Wind Turbine is probably only an 800w at 25mph

If you only have one ! I have 4 And those 1800 watt P.M.A.s on your wind turbine will work on a Water Wheel or Anything else that spins , Exercise bike , steam engine , gas engine , propane engine , and I also have Solar Panels , So that's Wind Power Water Power Solar Power Engine Power Human Power And if you get 1800 watt P.M.A.s for each room of your house , and Battery banks with Inverters and Solar Panels with Thermal heating and cooling , It's possible to run an entire house , because that's exactly what I'm going to do , I'm going OFF GRID

Great Video G-Bear. I’m setting up my PV system right now. I really like your system. Who would you recommend to purchase Solar Panels from? Thanks.

You can bank on the sun, during my life there hasn't been one day the sun hasn't come up, but there might be clouds in front of it

It's not impossible If your mother-in-law never shuts up 🤦🤦🤦🤦

Can you use a Victron charge controller? Also, how about hooking up a bicycle wheel with pop bottles to spin for energy?

Solar panels aren't all they are cracked up too be!! Mum is on grid!! But has solar panels!! The government here in Australia has found a loophole too get that extra .5 cents of electricity back from solar panels and Mum is not happy about it!!

1st ?

I don't know where Mr 🐻 got his analogies or theories from about what wind turbines can an cannot do. Wind turbines can run your whole house without any solar panels, l have three thousand watts of panels and twenty six hundred watts of wind turbines and I keep my whole house running in the night when there's no sun shining in the night I keep my batteries in a hundred percent state of charge. running two deep freezers an a refrigerator, with my winds anywhere from fifteen to twenty miles per hour an am dumping most of that power. At the end of the day it's how much you know about how things work where you live where and who you buy stuff from an how your wind turbines are set up. Anyone who doubts me that wind turbines can run your whole house keep your batteries fully charged all day and all night once enough wind is blowing for your type of setup. Check out John Daniel on KZfaq I've learned a lot from him he's a great guy on wind to learn from.

Thank you for the knowledge wanted to start with wind turbine then solar but will have a second thought will start with solar then wind turbine
