I do like these You Tube video’s. Her’s another one from Green Power Science. Again, very ineresting, using magnetic poles to repel, meaning a frictionless bearing, which cancels out vibration, and loses no power in friction loss. great for DIY Vertical Wind Turbines. Super stuff.

A question of maintenance, and something new.

On the question of wind turbine maintenance, which begs 2 questions; How often? and how easy.

Generally, wind turbines are very reliable, and can last for several years with minimal maintenance. If you have a DIY energy unit, parts should not be a problem, as they can be sourced easily locally. Ready built and installed wind turbines will obviously be more expensive to repair, and if it is an old unit, parts might not be so easy to obtain.

Again, for ease of maintenance, if you have a DIY turbine supplying you with renewable energy, you can build and install it with maintenance in mind. Also you won’t be wary of getting in there to fix any problems.

I will shortly be doing a review on a renewable energy DIY generator that has been getting a lot of publicity lately. It actually does sound too good to be true, but I have done some research, and although I have no technical data at the moment, all the articles I have read, are positive, and nowhere can I find that it is a scam. So, the proof being in the eating, I will give it a go and build one. I’ll give a blow by blow account of my endeavours as I progress.
