Can I Use Wind To Power A Car Alternator?

Jul 30, 2009 by Andi | Posted in Engineering

Okay i was thinking about losing power in a storm (we had a pretty nasty one a few days ago) And i thought about hooking a car alternator to a wind turbine to charge a battery-bank to power lights in my house. Is this stupid? If not what you be the dimensions

OUUFFFF
This is a major project.
Of course it is doable and you would learn a great deal from doing-it

But going to school is faster; at school you will not learn as much as if you proceed with your project.

Starting out humbly can sometimes lead to great things.

Some of the biggest companies in America had their start in the family garage. The late Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak started Apple Computers out of a garage. Ruth and Elliot Handler started Mattel from their garage, and Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard began their electronics manufacturing company in a garage.

In July 2009, Dan Lundry used his 980-square-foot garage at his home at 47W244 Primrose Path in Hampshire as DyoCore’ s manufacturing and distribution facility for SolAir, a hybrid wind/solar alternative energy power generator.

“In 2010, we moved to a 3,000-square-foot facility at 225 Industrial Drive in Hampshire,” Lundry said. “We moved to our current 12,000-square-foot facility at 365 Keyes Ave. in Hampshire four months ago. We have five full-time and three part-time employees.”
