An Electric Fan Into a Wind tunnel?

12 Jan 2020

For anyone out here, I am wondering if this guy is for real? Is his statements based on true electrical fact or just a lot of fiction? Please comment below.

Thanks for checking this out.

The Fan to Wind Turbine generator vid seemed straight to me. Simple and reasonable steps and a disappointing conclusion - that's real life ! MK

I don't see anything wrong with his work - moving magntetic fields through coils like that will generate AC. It was interesting, although it was a foregone conclusion that it would have poor performance…

Something MacGyver in the 90's TV series of the same name, would do. His TV fan moto would generate enough energy to arc weld:)

It was interesting, although it was a foregone conclusion that it would have poor performance, as he eventually indicated. People looking for a cheap wind turbine generator usually choose an old vehicle alternator, and add a vehicle battery which acts as a gigantic capacitor to store charge and smooth out the DC.
