Wind Power Generations
Wind Generator Assemblies and Examples




2 in 1 multi-use aluminum generator frame and pivot mount.
Serial number: 001 4th generation model.

Made of durable aluminum.
The frame can accept 2 different type generators, the Ametek 38 series and a permanent magnet DC motor Model PA140B treadmill motor. Both generators can be found on Ebay. The Ametek 38 VDC motor has a center to center measurement of 3.25". Only 2 of the 4 bolt holes on the generator are used to secure it to the frame along with the provded bolt on safety strap. The PA140B 2.75" X 4.30". The pivot mount is made of aluminum turned on a metal lathe. It is constructed in 3 sections and can be taken apart should the need arise to repair or do any maintenance on the unit. The unit can be mounted on tower pipe with an O.D. between 1.73" - 2.90". The tail is in 2 sections for ease of shipping. There is a aluminum plug that is inserted in both halves and is secured by 2 aircraft bolts. The frame is drilled to s ecure the tail and the tail has not been drilled. This is so the user can mount their generator and blades on and slide the tail to the proper length to achieve a better center of gravity. The UHMW material slider is drilled on one side to aid in guiding the drill bit during final drilling of this hole.


Another 12 inch diameter 8 blade hub I made for Lynn of Minnesota. Looks wicked!!!


Another 12 inch diameter hub I made for Lynn of Minnesota. This wind generator has a blade diameter of 8.5 feet. A big boy!

Here is my newest creation, a Mobile Wind Power Generator for Recreational Vehicles. I am using the same pivot mount, I fabricated, pictured above.
Assembly and disassembly is simple. For disassembly, loosen the cable and detach the turnbuckles, pull the tower base pin, and lower down the tower to take off the blades and generator frame.
The extension arm towards the rear has a resting mount that the tower sits on for assembly and disassembly.

Here is the breakdown of the internal components of the pivot mount.

I came up with the idea of using ball bearings for the pickup brushes to
transfer power from the generator side to the ground. Dual ball bearing pickups to ensure positive contact at all times and no more broken brushes.
Update: I have come up with a 4th generation brush setup and is currently being tested on my roof.

This is a prototype design wind generator that I fabricated and will be going to a customer. I plan on redesigning the power transfer pivot point to a smaller diameter tube so it can be slipped over the top of the towers currently on the market. It will use internal brushes with an external power transfer point to allow a power cable to be hooked up to.

The nose cone I also made myself using carbon fiber.

The only items I did not fabricate were the generator, blades, and bearings.
