The generator is held by a bracket in which a brake actuator is also integrated. In the following article you will find how you can proceed with its construction. Collect the required parts [...].

So that the construction articles to WinDIY do not become too extensive, I divided the construction on several articles. Per article a certain component is built up like e.g. the wing. Of course, [...]

The WinDIY wind vane is mounted at the end of the equipment carrier. It should help to align the wind turbine always in wind direction. How you can assemble the wind vane is described in the following article [...].

The rotating tower supports the turbine and superstructures on the standpipe so that they can rotate through 360°. Integrated in it is also a slip ring to transfer the generated energy to the non-rotating part [...].

The main axis is the axis in which the wind turbine will later rotate. It must therefore bear the weight of the blades including the hub and at the same time also the [...]

At one point or another, I'm sure I've already mentioned that it was important to me to be able to control WinDIY safely and also limit its speed in an emergency. For this purpose I [...]

An important component of WinDIY are certainly the wings. They are the ones that absorb the energy of the wind and convert it into a rotary motion, which in turn feeds the generator [...].
