Introduction: Old PC Fan ----> Wind Turbine in 10 Minutes
I looked at some old PC Fans I have and thought that they can be used as Small Wind Turbines. ... The PC Fan is Brushless DC ( BLDC) Motor. It can be converted to a generator in 5 Minutes.
How many volts can a computer fan take?
The rules state that voltage used can be no higher than 9 volts but most fans are 12 volts.
Can you turn a desk fan into a wind turbine?
You can actually make a wind generator out of a common table fan by putting magnets inside it. The project itself is quite simple to make your own energy producing wind turbine. Blades are actually spinning rapidly in the wind. Windmill is charging batteries.
Does fan produce energy?
The fan converts electric energy into kinetic energy that does work, and it converts some electric energy into heat.)
How many amps does a 12V computer fan use?
12V, 0.33A are the voltage and amperage ratings of the fan, it draws 4W (watts). The important part of any replacement spec is the mounting screw locations and dimensions. They will all be 12V but slight variations in the current ratings are not important.
How much watts does a PC fan use?
Case fans usually use 1.8 Watts and are rated at 12 Volts. The molex connector that is usually used on the case fans is 12 Volts by standard (same as your Hard Drive and Optical Drives usually use). Unless you are adding 50 fans I doubt you have to worry about the power supply. You will be fine with the 500 Watt PSU.
How do you turn a motor into a generator?
In electric machines you need 2 things to generate electricity. To move or rotate a magnetic field inside a coil OR move or rotate a coil of insulated wire inside a magnetic field. The simplest is the DC motor you find in brushed battery powered tools and toys. They will become a generator simply by rotating the shaft.
How much energy can a fan produce?
A fan with 36-inch blades uses approximately 55 watts. A fan with 48-inch blades typically consumes 75 watts, while a 52-inch-blade fan uses 90 watts.
Is the alternator a generator?
An alternator is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current. For reasons of cost and simplicity, most alternators use a rotating magnetic field with a stationary armature.
What are those giant fans called?
What is a Wind Turbine? Huge windmills, also called wind turbines, typically have two or three blades that turn when the wind blows fast enough. These turbines are strategically installed in windy places and are often grouped together in “farms” for the greatest efficiency.
Can a ceiling fan motor be used as a generator?
The ceiling fan cannot work as a generator as it does not contain permanent magnets. You also need to change the winding quite a bit to isolate the rotor from stator .
Can you use a ceiling fan to generate electricity?
A ceiling fan looks similar to a wind turbine, so one may wonder if it can be used as such. Most ceiling fans are induction motors, that don't generate electricity when being turned. You will have to add magnets.
Can we generate electricity from ceiling fan?
One of the method for generation of electricity is through the ceiling fan blades. Ceiling fan convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.In order to achieve the motive we have to convert this mechanical energy into electrical energy. This can be achieved with the help of Faraday Law of Electromagnetic Induction.
