Cooler Windmill rather a toy than a real one. It produces 1.5 - 2 volts with a breeze of 4 km / h and a current of 20 mA, which is enough to charge one battery. But you can do more than one, so there is still a prospect. . .


And so let's go!

Let's take a standard cooler from a computer:


We need to disassemble it and connect the wiring directly to the coils and remove the Hall sensor, similar to a 4-pin transistor, we do not need it. In principle, you can do without this, because the cooler can already work as a generator, but if this is not done, energy will be very small.


We are connected by turning on all the coils in series for a single-phase generator, or a triangle for a three-phase, as you like.


Next, we need rectifier diodes, any will do. I think that you can easily assemble a rectifying circuit of them. If not, look at past publications. about the generator for a windmill, there is such a scheme.


We collect


We connect the LED to the output and blow on the cooler. The LED is on - everything is fine!


Then we need to cut off the blades and the base from the cooler. We don’t need them anymore.


Cut off.


We make new blades. Take a thick-walled plastic bottle.


And cut the blades out of it. Here I think nothing needs to be explained - you yourself will figure out what and how much. I got three lobed.


Glue the blades with super glue.




Next, take a wooden rail and drill a hole, then you will understand why.


And from the other end of the slot for the CD, he will serve as a weather vane.


And this is the foundation of the earth for sustainability.

Good luck !!!

    Why are the most important photos - how to connect made so small? Where can I find this material in readable form with large photographs?

    You will not find anywhere else! And why do you need pictures ?! You yourself will not guess ???

    It seems to me that it will be easier to stick new blades directly onto the "native" blades. And it’s more convenient to extend them with the most ordinary plastic bottle (from 1.5 to 5 l) wink

    [b] Antokha [/ b], it’s not going anywhere - the generator is assembled in three phases. read and you’ll understand everything, if you want to eat of course ...

    hello everyone was interested in a windmill, who can help I have a motor from the player, but I can’t figure out 4 wires that how to connect so that the light comes on: winked:

    Hello everyone, I tried to assemble, there (in the cooler) four windings, three terminals (2 with one enamel wire and
    1 with double). I just can’t figure it out, the three-phase has 3 windings, but here are four. : sad: Help pliiz !!

    no one asked the question: why is it so impractical to use a cooler as a 2 volt generator? there’s a real pile of batteries on the market for a pretty penny. with the same success can be done, for example, birdhouse.Many have old fans, for example: from a hood above a stove, etc. at 220 volts. What power are they capable of giving and how to convert them into a generator?

    which means "We connect by turning on all the coils in series for a single-phase generator, or a triangle for a three-phase generator, as you like."

    I took it apart, found this sensor, before I pulled out the sensor, the cooler worked if I connected batteries to it, and after tearing it out, it stopped working. should it be so?

    how to do this? We are connected by turning on all the coils in series for a single-phase generator, or a triangle for a three-phase, as you like.

      Consistently, this means by the end of the first winding we connect the beginning of the second, etc. .. As a result, we get two ends - the beginning of the first and the end of the third. For a "star", you need to connect together the beginnings of all three windings (this will be the 1st conductor), and from the ends remove the 3-phase voltage (respectively, 3 more conductors).

    From the mafon, the engine will give out more, without any alteration, well, if only the speed regulator is pulled out
