How to print your own wind turbine

Earlier this week we showed you how to make your own Ultrasonic Vapor Polisher. In this post we’ll cover 3D printing of a wind turbine. We’ll give you an overview of the technologies and an introduction to key concepts so you can make one yourself.

The main element for wind power electricity production is a generator. Several designs are publicly available online but this one by Ben Rowland on Thingiverse is a perfect example of a 3D printed structure holding copper coils and magnets making it into an axial flux generator.

It is described as:

Small low power 3 phase A.C. / D.C. generator designed for low energy applications using wind or water power. The generator is stackable allowing you to build up a working system of multiple modules to provide the voltage or current required. Connecting a module in parallel boosts the current and connecting in series boosts the voltage.

You can see detailed description of it in following video:

If you search on 3D model repositories you can find several 3D printable generators with different enclosures and power outputs. Of course, you will need some rare earth magnets and copper wires which are both available commercially or you can recycle them from old electronics parts.

Secondly you will need a rotor with blades to “catch” the wind. You can choose from two main configurations: HAWT and VAWT, by using non-printed materials (like PVC pipe blades), fully printed PLA / ABS parts or a combination of both as you can see in the video below.

For a full tutorial on how to make this wind turbine take a look at: http://www. instructables.com/id/3D-Printed-Wind-Turbine-uses-Bamboo/

If you don’t want to print a turbine, you can make simple HAWT blades with PVC pipes. One of many tutorials can be found here: http://www.instructables.com/id/PVC-pipe-blades-and-rotor-for-HAWT-from-scrap/

An easier to make alternative to the wind turbine solutions as described above comes in the form of a ribbon generator. It produces far less energy but it is simple and functions under a variety of wind conditions.
The energy is generated like this: the wind causes the belt to vibrate in a frame that has magnets attached to it that oscillate between copper coils.

A detailed guide for making a windbelt generator can be found at:

https://www.instructables.com/id/Adjustable-Windbelt/, while all the STL files can be found at: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:67992

For what purposes could you use a setup like this? As always you are limited with your imagination. You will not be able to power your house due to physical limitations and scalability but you could use it in education, to power DIY projects like stand-alone sensors, remote WiFi hotspots or charge your mobile phone in off-grid house. Also do keep in mind that you will need a battery to store the electricity and some kind of rectifier / control electronics (both are easily available and simple to build).

With the increase of 3D printer sizes and precision and the variety of printable materials we foresee a future with more renewable energy solutions you can make at home.

Smart palm trees, turbine blades and 6 more of the best 3D printing projects in the energy industry

In a recent article, we talked about how 3D printing is beneficial for the production of solar panels. But this is only a special case of the use of additive technologies in the energy sector. Their potential is much wider - 3D printers can be used for prototyping and manufacturing in other sectors of the industry, for example, in oil and gas companies or to create wind and solar power plants. nine0006

Additive manufacturing is becoming a strong ally of the energy industry, enabling it to explore new areas and applications. In this article, we will discuss all the advantages of 3D printing and talk about projects implemented in the energy industry using additive technologies.

Application of 3D printing in the energy industry

Prototyping and manufacturing

Today, 3D printing is used not only for prototyping, but also for the production of new parts, devices and designs. The examples that we will give perfectly demonstrate the advantages of this technology. nine0006

3D technology enables you to work more efficiently on many levels. You can use 3D printing or 3D modeling to improve the visualization of your projects. 3D models - including printed ones - can be used not only within the company, but also to demonstrate projects to customers.

Customization at lower prices

Additive manufacturing attracts many companies with the ability to create custom parts. If you are making parts to order, then 3D printing is exactly what you need.

Equally important is the fact that 3D technologies owe their widespread use in the energy sector to their low cost, especially when it comes to prototyping – 3D printing allows as many iterations as needed.

3D printing in the development of new devices

We have already mentioned that 3D printing has revolutionized renewable energy and that 3D printed solar panels are 20% more efficient than standard ones. New materials and technologies are further increasing the efficiency of devices - for example, recently materials have been developed that have allowed rethinking the production of solar panels.

The possibilities of using 3D printing in the energy sector are very wide, but their implementation requires special materials. The properties of the materials depend on the intended use of the final parts - resistance to loads, pressure, chemicals or heat may be required. nine0006

Energy Innovation: Best Projects Using 3D Printers

We've collected examples of the best energy projects using 3D printers. They will help you better understand the current possibilities and potential of additive manufacturing in this industry.

Solar Cells, Batteries and Power Plants

A Dubai-based company has chosen 3D printing for a project called Smart Palm. The idea is to create stations on city streets and beaches where people can charge their phones, connect to Wi-Fi, and so on. "Smart palm trees" have a modern design and collect solar energy. nine0006

Stations are printed on reinforced plastic 3D printers. At first it was planned to make them from steel, but the creators sought to reduce the weight of the structure and therefore chose 3D printing from plastic.

Some of Sculpteo's customers work with solar energy and use 3D printing. For example, Simusolar, founded in 2014, is building solar power plants in rural Tanzania, designing and implementing compact, sustainable solutions that help people in their daily lives. The company's customers are farmers, fishermen and villagers who need equipment powered by solar electricity. Simusolar uses 3D printing because there is a need for many custom parts. nine0006

Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) uses 3D printers to print rolled solar cells. CSIRO produces A3 size photovoltaic sheets that are suitable for all surfaces (eg windows and buildings). This opens up completely new possibilities: the high efficiency of solar panels and 3D printing technologies allow the company to create accurate and reliable systems. As we have already found out, solar panels printed on a 3D printer are 20% more efficient than traditional ones. nine0006

Today, these are the largest photovoltaic cells. They are made of flexible lightweight plastic. Researchers have developed an ink with photoelectric properties that is applied to a strip of flexible plastic. The production process includes coating the strips with an engraved cylinder, applying ink using a slotted die, as well as squeegee printing. nine0006

New generation wind turbines

Additive technologies allow creating new types of wind turbines. Wind farms are known to be an efficient source of energy, but Orange Silicon Valley decided to go even further and find out if it is possible to manufacture microturbines, and if so, how.

Conventional wind farms are difficult to transport, which is why the company has focused on developing smaller plants. Such installations can be easily transported to areas where it is difficult to use traditional wind turbines. In addition, they are ideal for urban conditions. Prototypes of installations were printed from ABS plastic on a desktop 3D printer. nine0006

Startup RCAM Technologies decided to introduce 3D printing for the production of wind farms. The goal of the project is not to create microturbines, but, on the contrary, large ones. Indeed, the higher the setting, the more efficient it works. The idea is simple: print some wind farm parts on the spot. In 2019, StartUs Insights analysts included RCAM Technologies in the list of the best startups using additive technologies in the energy sector.

The rapid development of large-scale 3D printing makes it possible to carry out ever larger projects. In other words, 3D printers will make wind energy more efficient. At the moment, the company is creating prototypes of wind turbines using a robotic arm. nine0006

Graphene and liquid batteries

We already know the benefits of graphene batteries; but if you print them on 3D printers, they become even more productive and greener. Researchers from the City University of Manchester, the University of Chester and Central South University in China have created an entirely new energy storage device.

Inside it are disk electrodes printed with graphene on a 3D printer. This amazing material is the future of electrical engineering and electronics. Many different materials can be used for printing, depending on the purpose of the project. Additive technologies make it possible to create entire systems for the production and storage of renewable energy. nine0006

3D printed “Redox Flow” battery case parts / Photo: jss.ecsdl.org It is called "Redox Flow" and is produced using 3D printing. The research team uses additive technologies to create a system of microchannels through which the electrolyte moves. This minimizes energy consumption and avoids high internal temperatures. nine0006

3D printing in the gas sector: turbine blades

Siemens UK engineers have decided to use 3D printing for the production of gas turbine blades. The blades must be resistant to high pressure, speeds up to 1600 km/h and withstand an ambient temperature of 1250°C with rapid cooling down to 400°C.
