Machined Bearing Housing For wind Turbine Project
|
All prices, including shipping, are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) This has been removed from a washing machine and turned down on a lathe to the 87mm diameter needed to provide a snug fit into 80mm rain water pipe.
It comes with both the original bearings, they may be ok or you may need to change them, I still have the original bearings in mine. |
Raw Bearing Housing For Wind Turbine Project
|
All prices, including shipping, are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) This has been removed from a washing machine & will need the circumference of the external nylon housing reduced to be able to fit into the pipe as per our project instructions.
It contains the 2 original bearings. |
Bearing Shaft For Wind Turbine Project
|
All prices, including shipping, are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) This has been removed from a washing machine and fits the bearing housings above.
Although they are not needed for our wind turbine project we have also included all of the accessories in the photo. They may help if you are creating your own design. |
Generator For Wind Turbine Project
|
All prices, including shipping, are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) This has been removed from a washing machine. The collar and fixings enable you to easily fit this to the bearing housing at the top of this page.
This is a 14 magnet rotor with a 42 pole stator. This will produce power without being rewired but to get from many hundreds down to 12-24 volts it will need to be rewired as per our wind turbine project instructions. |
Modified Generator For Wind Turbine Project
|
All prices, including shipping, are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) This also comes with the 14 magnet rotor, collar & fixings just the same as the generator above.
This has been rewired to produce 3 phase AC at much lower & manageable voltages of around 12-24v. All wiring is spray sealed to protect it from the environment. It will need some rectifiers to change the 3 phase AC to DC as per our wind turbine project page. This item is made to order and may take several days to be ready for shipping. |
500W Grid Tie Inverter
|
All prices, including shipping, are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) This unit is specifically designed to be used with a wind turbines although it will also work with solar panels.
It is designed to have an input of between 10-30v DC. And an output of 230-240 V AC 50Hz. The unit is designed to work alongside a mains supply and is not suitable for a totally off grid system. It connects to your mains power & matches the frequency of that power, if a device connected to your mains power is turned on then it will be powered by this free energy first. If that device requires more power or it is not windy then the power will be topped up from the grid. If your wind turbine is caught in a storm then this unit will automatically switch the power to a dump load if the input is over 30v, which will slow the turbine down during a major storm, the dump load can be made or bought separately and is connected to the 2 black terminals in the photo. The dump load can be a heater or light bulbs or large resistors capable of high wattage, around 5 Ohms is ideal for our wind turbine project although it will depend on the output of your own wind turbine. This device should be hard wired directly to your distribution unit/fuseboard. Please check with a qualified electrician and install as per your countries or areas electrical regulations. |
6 inch pipe for making the blades for the wind turbine project $45

Like most plumbing pipe the size is measured on the inside because it is the volume of the pipe that is important, so this pipe would be commercially sold as a 6 inch storm water pipe

All prices, including shipping, are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) Pick up only
The outside diameter is 160mm & the circumference is 510mm. The wall thickness is approx. 3.5mm.
750mm long, enough to make 4 turbine blades. Our blades have been installed and running for the past 2 years and have survived 2 tornados. During the tornados I was more worried about the scaffold pole breaking, but the blades were just fine. We can cut this pipe to any length you require just email us and adjust the price accordingly. This pipe will come with a square cut on both ends. Due to the size, this is a pick up only item. |
Large commercial vehicle battery 600 CCA $50

CCA or Cold Cranking Amps is the amount of amps that a battery can initially provide to start a vehicle. This battery would be fine for most vehicles and boats up to 600 CCA.

We have 2 of these both approx 6 months old (Feb 2013), fully tested and as good as new. It has round terminals and also has the fittings for square terminals.
The overall dimensions are: Length - 260mm Width - 175mm Height - 205mm A deep cycle battery would be better for wind turbine or solar panel projects but they are very expensive and these were a much cheaper alternative but we ended not using them. I even had plans for an electric go-kart but we need the room so they've got to go. Due to the weight, this is a pick up only item. |
