HUB'O TURBINE (by PRPaul1)
Duration: 2:22
A mechanical setup that uses a bicycle hub to eventually generate electricity with the wind. I called it Urbo-Turbo, but should have said Hubo-Turbo or just Hubo or Hub'o-Turbo or just Hub'o. If your generator is quiet, you can call it an: Urban Turbine = Urbo-turbo or if it is noisy call it: Hobo Turbine = Hub'o-turbo = Hubbo-Turbo = Hub'orator = Huborator Well, I took a picture of the drawing and used the picture as the "generatorblue" channel image. Please copy the picture, enlarge it and print it. Here is the list of parts that was on the drawing paper, but that does not show on the picture. (1) The bicycle holder is also the alternator enclosure holder. (2) The bicycle hub axle (3) The propeller (turbine) uses the right side of the hub axle. (4) Screws passing through the spoke holes in the flange of the bicycle hub, secure the hub to the hub holder. (5) One coil (6) The enclosure (housing can be made of two metal bowls that fit into each other like camping cooking pots. Cylindrical metal containers will do the job if the diameter of the rotor disk is less than that of the container. (7)The coil holder is attached to the enclosure with screws: Rectangular openings in the housing (alternator enclosure)will let you insert the coils. The coils holders will be made of a nonconductive material that will make contact with the coils but will also be attached to a metal plate that will cover the rectangular openings in the enclosure. The position of any given coil will be adjustable. Note: Some builder will rather make a stator disk. In that case the stator "platter" will be secured to the enclosure inner wall. (8) One pair of metal rotor disks. (9) Left rotor disk has magnets partially embedded into it. (10) The right axle nut secures the rotor disks to the rotating axle. (11) The gap spacer could be replaced by a group of washers. Note: part #1 is a split pole (in a side view). For more Information, go to the "generatorblue" channel and read the comments at the bottom of the page. "More power to you!"
