Product Categories for homemade wind turbine

Wind Turbines - (128 companies)

Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy from wind into mechanical energy. When used with an electrical generator, the rotation of the wind turbine’s blades turns a shaft to produce electricity. Learn More about Wind Turbines

Turbine Flow Meters - (202 companies)

Turbine flow meters measure the rate of flow in a pipe or process line via a rotor that spins as the media passes through its blades. Search by Specification | Learn More about Turbine Flow Meters

Steam and Gas Turbines - (30 companies)

Steam and gas turbines are rotating machines that extract energy from pressurized steam and/or from combustion gases. Learn More about Steam and Gas Turbines

Turbine Pumps - (213 companies)

Turbine pumps are centrifugal pumps that use pressure in combination with a rotary mechanism to transfer fluid. They typically employ blade geometry, which causes fluid circulation around the vanes to add pressure from inlet to outlet. Search by Specification | Learn More about Turbine Pumps

Alternative Power Generators - (544 companies)

Alternative power generators produce electricity from renewable energy sources, such as wind, flowing water, solar energy and biomass, which create less environmental damage and pollution than fossil fuels. Search by Specification | Learn More about Alternative Power Generators

Weather Instruments - (252 companies)

Weather instruments are designed to measure one or multiple components of weather including wind speed and direction, rain or snow fall, solar radiation, temperature, pressure and humidity. Search by Specification | Learn More about Weather Instruments

Hydro Turbines - (26 companies)

Hydro turbines are used to transmit mechanical power and produce electricity. Hydro turbines convert water pressure into mechanical shaft power that can be used to drive an electricity generator, grind a mill, or move some other device. Learn More about Hydro Turbines

Microturbines - (30 companies)

Microturbines are small fuel-burning turbines used in localized or mobile power generation and mechanical drive applications. Learn More about Microturbines

Alternative Energy Installation Services - (58 companies)

Alternative energy installation services specify and install photovoltaic, wind energy, and other distributed energy production systems for commercial and residential applications. Learn More about Alternative Energy Installation Services

Wind Tunnel Testing Services - (19 companies)

Wind tunnel testing services provide test facilities and technical staff for aerodynamic testing. Tests may be performed on prototype aircraft, helicopters, trains, cars, or buildings; or for research and development (R&D) purposes. Learn More about Wind Tunnel Testing Services

Towers, Poles and Support Structures - (229 companies)

Towers, poles and support structures elevate, support and/or position personnel and equipment such as antennas, lighting, surveillance cameras or sensors, wind turbines, weather instruments, and power lines. Search by Specification | Learn More about Towers, Poles and Support Structures

Industrial Mixers - (758 companies)

Industrial mixers use a shaft, screw, blades, ribbons, impellers or propellers to mix industrial materials such as adhesives, chemicals, construction materials, minerals, coatings and paints. Search by Specification | Learn More about Industrial Mixers

Downdraft Tables - (12 companies)

Downdraft tables are self-contained, portable filtration systems that remove harmful particulates and return filtered air. Learn More about Downdraft Tables

Industrial Kilns - (70 companies)

Industrial kilns are very high temperature thermal processing units, used for firing ceramics or calcining minerals. Search by Specification | Learn More about Industrial Kilns

Impellers - (81 companies)

Impellers are rotating devices that force liquids, gases and vapors in a desired direction. They are widely used in pumping, blowing, and mixing applications. Search by Specification | Learn More about Impellers

Wind Turbine rotor/stator gap measurement

As a more precise and repeatable method, Gapman "an electronic feeler gage" is used instead of feeler gages to set the gap between the rotor poles and the stator. This gap is particularly critical at the 6 o'clock position due to the gravity effect of the heavy rotor shaft and magnetic assemblies. In a 1.65 kW model 50 to 60 individual pole gaps must measured.
