On a camping trip away from modern infrastructure, you quickly realize how accustomed you have become to the fact that electricity is always available everywhere. The stupid thing is that you usually notice this when the electricity isn't there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are now power banks for this situation. But what if the power bank is empty? Charging on the go is difficult without electricity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I faced the same problem a few years ago during a camping trip. Back then, I even had a mobile solar cell with me. It did provide some energy, but not enough due to the lack of sun. The sun just wasn't strong enough. What I did have was wind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And so the idea was born to build a wind turbine that can be produced using a 3D printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Initially forgotten, this idea was given a boost when I stumbled across a few neodymium magnets at a flea market. I got some magnets there for a small amount of money, which I was sure could be used to build a suitable generator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over time, this has resulted in the project presented here. Below you will also find detailed assembly instructions for the individual components. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Important: The wind turbine is currently (11.10.2020) not yet running perfectly. The blades still need to be adjusted and also the generator does not quite fit the characteristics of the wind turbine. So there is still some work ahead of me. But maybe the shown components are a suggestion for everyone who is working on his own design of a 3D printed wind turbine \ud83d\ude42 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
