I want to create a DIY wind turbine from recycled material with the help of Arduino to successfully create an electricity. Do you think it's possible? Sorry for this silly me asking, i'm just a student with no idea in Arduino but interested in this kind of project.
If it's possible, what materials should I use and how can I start creating it?
What role do you see the Arduino playing in this project?
idk, im not sure. whether use arduino for running the wind turbine or just using it for measuring the wind speed
I saw a documentary about some young guy in Africa somewhere who did something very similar, except that he didn't have any need for Arduino. I'll see if I can remember the name. I think he ended up which a scholarship to study in the States.
Doesn't the wind run the wind turbine?
Google Arduino anemometer.
well, i need arduino for tech-related
oh yeah, silly me. my first idea was just using arduino for measuring wind speed and then i saw someone's post using arduino for powering the wind speed. that mixes me up
thanks for those who commented on my last post. so recap, i want to create a wind turbine from recycled material and i want to use arduino for measuring the wind speed.
but i dont have any idea to start it, i dont even know materials and how to process it.
can someone pls help me listing them, dw i will also self study, i just need your idea guys. thank u!!
Your two or more topics on the same or similar subject have been merged.
Please do not duplicate your questions as doing so wastes the time and effort of the volunteers trying to help you as they are then answering the same thing in different places.
Please create one topic only for your question and choose the forum category carefully. If you have multiple questions about the same project then please ask your questions in the one topic as the answers to one question provide useful context for the others, and also you won’t have to keep explaining your project repeatedly.
Repeated duplicate posting could result in a temporary or permanent ban from the forum.
Could you take a few moments to Learn How To Use The Forum
It will help you get the best out of the forum in the future.
Thank you.
If it's the story I'm thinking of, then there was a film too:
Start by posting all the recycled materials you have collected so far. We can offer help with spelling them correctly in your list. If any of the items in your list sound like they would be useful in building your project, someone will comment.
You can also post some Arduino code that you might feel will be instrumental in measuring wind speed.
i dont know any of that
That's it, thanks.
Have you tried using the internet?
That will be a MAJOR problem, because the resources you need are not easily "found" in a rubbish bin. Copper is highly prized and magnets do not grow on trees. If you find the materials (I doubt you will), try this "internet" gem from last millennium: Science fair project: build Ultra-simple Electric Generator, spinning magnets DIY
my idea was just use arduino for wind speed and let the wind control the windmill
Post your wind speed sketch.
i dont have
Then that is your first assignment.
You must create a device to translate wind into speed. I feel this is harder to realize (make real) than writing a program to average rotations over time. It must not fall over. It must allow for mechanical movement while transferring events. It could allow for the many dimensions of wind, but that further complicates "reading" the speed. After that works, start your code.
What is your plan to keep the wind speed indicator and the wind mill off the ground?
