Could someone explain a wind generator system to me in small words?

Car alternator Battery Blade.

I will give you 5 Stars to bring some luck

A cheap solar panel will out produce and out last a wind turbine by decades.

Winner winner. Chicken dinner!

Probably true for most cases and good to note.

Nature, however, has given me clouds and wind. It laughs at me when I request sun.

Gracias

The newer panels do pick up something during cloudy days even.

There are different types of wind kits as well it it seems like your trying to be ready to reverse a washing machine

There's a lot of small (500 watts or less) wind turbine kits available to buy for under $300. Just search for "wind turbine 500w kit".

Buy one...

Basic parts are the turbine, a charge controller, a battery bank, and an inverter.

There are a million youtubes on home made small wind generator systems.

I'm a solar fan for individual homes. Not these solar farms they have going.

Best of luck to you in your search!

Basics:

1. some kind of fan/turbine (for the wind to blow/turn).
A wind water pump could be a candidate.

2. mechanically connects/turns a small generator (a car's alternator could be candidate).

2) generator's output goes to a charger who, in turn charges a battery

3) some kind of a battery, usually a deep cycle pb.

4) if needed a circuit (inverter) to convert battery's 12/24v
to 110/220V.

That's all.

That's awesome.

Thank you.

Am I going to need soldering equipment or anything fancy?

This ^^^

En Galicia?

....tools are important to note because I barely have any. I was pretty much living life on and off an airplane for quite a few years. Just recently landed and started to build a "nest."


That and when SHTF you don't really want things to go sideways all because you don't have the right wrench.

Who wants to know?

get an antique attic fan and a 70s era car alternator to mount where the fan motor would go.car battery for storage and a cigarette lighter female with wire leads to battery then cigarette lighter dong with charger chord hook up.then charger chord.

Thank you.

Basic electrical tools. Wire cutters, large and small, you can use a knife to strip terminals, wire nuts, electrical tape, digital multimeter, selection of screw drivers, a hammer, because one always needs a hammer, open and box end wrenches in a good selection of sizes, crimpers and crimp fittings.

Need:
Wind generator
Controller for charge batteries
Batteries
Voltage converter 12vdc to 117ac
And most importantly- wind

an old cooler to store the battery in if its gonna be outside.to keep battery from freezing and dry rotting.

Just get a washing machine that has the direct drive motor in it and your friend can figure out the rest. It will need to be re configured for a smaller 3 phase voltage.

Thank you, thank you, thank you :)

A wind generator ?

Well if you get a large enough fan, and a big enough motor, the rotating blades cut through the air like a screw. As the fan is stationary it is the air that moves, thus being transformed into actual measureable "wind".










Awww come on, somebody had to say it.

Ever have generator light on your bike? One end touched the tire and it turned as the bike moved and the light came on. The turning of the generator creates the electrical charge that lights the bulb. Multiply that a few million times and that's how every power plant works. Wind, dams,coal,nuclear all turn that turbine, the little one on your bike or Hover can or any power plant. Well except solar...bigger words needed.

Can of beans.

Go here.....all will be revealed....
