Windpower
The Windpower wind generator was developed in the Mojave Desert of Southern California to take advantage of the high prevailing winds that cross the mountain ranges to enter the desert. It uses readily available parts found at most hardware stores. The power unit is a very popular automotive alternator found in most General Motors vehicles.
The Windpower wind generator has evolved from trial and error and if built to specifications, will perform surprisingly well, from a 10 mile per hour breeze, to a 60 mile per hour windstorm.
At full peak power in a 30-mph wind, the Windpower Generator should, produce 720 watts of power. (12 volts x 60 amps = 720 watts) However, it would be wise to be conservative and assume 500 watts of usable power.
In a steady breeze over a period of several hours, this would be enough to charge 5 to 10 deep cycle batteries.
There are two options that you have with a bank of fully charged 12-volt batteries.
First, you can wire your house or cabin with a separate 12-volt circuit, on which you can install low voltage lights, and appliances available at Camping/Trailer supply stores.
Of course the drawback to this type of installation is that you must install a separate 12-volt circuit, and purchase new appliances.
The second option is to install one or more DC to AC power inverters. These state of the art electronic units convert 12 volt DC to a usable 120 volt AC.
You can wire these units directly into the existing 120 volt AC circuits of your house.
An ideal system would be a hybrid of multiple 12-volt DC wind generators charging a bank of 12-volt deep cycle batteries. Wired directly from the batteries would be outside security lights and interior emergency lights using 12-volt DC light fixtures.
A 5000-watt gasoline generator would be a perfect addition to this system to power additional AC appliances when needed and to provide DC power to keep the batteries charged during periods of insufficient wind.
As for water well pumping, a shallow well jet pump can be powered through a DC to AC inverter, provided it is wired to operate at 120 volts. A typical jet pump is ½ hp and draws about 8 amps. This would require a minimum of a 1500-watt inverter, a 2500 would be better.
try two Windpower Generators charging a bank of six, deep cycle batteries. Several automotive road lights provide outside security lighting. Interior R/V lights provide interior emergency lighting. One 2500-watt inverter & provide necessary AC power for tools and appliances. If you are conservative, this will power most other lights, TV &, computers, etc.
A water supply deep well, at 410 feet. Requires a 3 hp, 240-volt AC submersible pump. For this, a 5000-watt gasoline generator is installed in the well house. This is powered up as needed to fill a 2000 gallon storage tank. A 12 volt pump maintains pressure to the house.
Included in the detailed plans are further installation instructions and ideas.
The Windpower Generator is fabricated of steel and weighs approximately 45 pounds. The unit comes shipped in two boxes, some assembly required.It is comprised of a steel frame on which a shaft is mounted.
On one end of the shaft is attached the hub onto which two, 36 inch long blades are attached, creating a 6 foot diameter rotor.
Below the frame is mounted a 12 volt, 60 amp General Motors automotive alternator.
Behind the alternator and fastened to the frame is the rudder.
The whole assembly is connected to a mounting collar with with a roller bearing. This collar is designed to slip over an installed 2-1/2 inch pipe cemented into the ground.
When mounted atop a 20 foot pole, and in a 20 mph breeze, the whole unit will immediately face into the wind, the rotor will turn at about 300 rpm and the alternator will produce about 500 watts.
