Réalisation - My little turbines

  • Etape 1

    With this DIYs project, the type of turbine connected to the alternator can be change. We propose two different procedures to build a propeller or a turbine.


  • Construction of a wind turbine

  • Etape 2

    Pass on an M3 screw, an M6 nut, an M4 washer, and an M3 nut.

     

    With a pair of pliers and a screwdriver, tighten them all together well.



  • Etape 3

    With a pair of scissors, cut the end of six plastic teaspoons.

     

    {#lang_bricoWikiWarnings_warning} With Migros spoons, cut just behind the round mark on the back of the spoon.


  • Etape 4

    Using hot glue, glue each spoon on each of the sections of the large M6 nut.

     

    The spoons should be glued in a 'diagonal' position, inclining them all the same way.



  • Etape 5

    {#lang_bricoWikiWarnings_warning} Firts glue 3 spoons (a) leaving a nut section between each of them. Let them dry, and then glue the 3 remaining spoons (b).


  • Construction of a water turbine

  • Etape 6

    Pass on an M3 screw, an M3 nut, an M6 nut and an M3 nut.

     

    With a pair of pliers and a screwdriver, tighten them all together well.



  • Etape 7

    With a pair of scissors, cut the end of six plastic teaspoons.

     

    {#lang_bricoWikiWarnings_warning} With Migros spoons, cut just before the round mark on the back of the spoon.


  • Etape 8

    Using hot glue, glue each spoon on each of the sections of the large nut M6 making sure to cover them.

     

    {#lang_bricoWikiWarnings_warning} Ensure that the cut end of the spoon handle does not overpass the edge of the nut section.


  • Etape 9

    First fix 3 spoons (a), leaving a nut section between each of them.

    Allow to dry and then glue the 3 remaining spoons (b).



  • Base and connections

  • Etape 10

    Using three screws, attach the spring clamp on the top of the short wood slat and two metal brackets to create a steady base.



  • Etape 11

    Connect the LED bulb to two electric wires (all ends stripped) using a pair of electric connectors.

     

    Connect the other ends of the wires to two crocodile clips.



  • Etape 12

    Connect the two crocodile clips to the two contacts located at the rear of the electric motor.



  • Etape 13

    Clip the motor in the spring clamp.

     

    Screw the metal connector on the motor axis.

     

    Draw, colour and cut in a strong cardboard a picture of a device which uses electricity. Make a hole for the LED with an awl.

     

    Unfold the model and pass the LED from the back through the hole.



  • Etape 14

    Slide a balloon on the end of a plastsic tube to create an 'wind blower tank'.
