       something new from something old an recycled

       i noticed the other half lay by the road side from last month it
       was still there calling out.. today! so i took it as a divine
       inspiration/intervention an good deed.. as i was coming home
       from church i said its still there..
       now i have been looking an tinkering with an idea to turn my
       little 400 watt 24v dc motor this is very rough in the think
       tank stage.... but i think you can see where i'm heading...
       horizontal with a fin for direction.. or vertical...... this is
       what i was talking about when i mentioned the base..add dual
       alternators an drive my  dc motor... these do not match off to
       different chars one is lighter so this may work to my advantage,
       but they still will work..my wife is using the matching one an
       said hands off...my office chair !
       now there are many friction less an directionless  way's to
       rotate this plastic polymer  poly-carbon base..  practically pre
       -assembled ready for recycled applications ...something new from
       something old..thanks dad..my mentor.... with very minor
       alterations  ..i can mechanize it... using super bearings on a
       shaft both halves  fit like a Glove an are on same center-line
       axis point to point.....  i just need to energize it with
       motion... i believe in simplicity an efficiency... i can work
       with both..the path with least resistance an friction.
       use water i do have ...  but i need to enclose an recycle wish i
       had a stream.. .. wind i do have..45 to 50 mph at times once a
       month average ...mostly 10-20 mph constant with gust ..steam
       threw a  boiler.. air pressure ect.

       now i have it..i found out i could please too people at
       once..the base was interchangeable..she got tokeep her chair an
       i got the match i needed ;D
       MACgyver engineering @ its best AN A COUNTRY BOY CAN
       SURVIVE.....
       now i have a turbine permanent magnet motor 400 watt 24v 22amp
       vawt /hawt
       all i need is 5 rods threaded both ends ...a few bearings an the
       other sprocket which i have an chain..or i can shaft alignment
       couple.. or i can make a 3 phase dual /single phase alternator
       decisions decisions..
       dimensions are as follow width is 24"/ dia X 24-60" length

       ran into a bit of a snag today, i have wrestled with this idea
       before... how big do i go...... i do not know? but here it
       goes... in my project bigger is better so i'm told by experience
       ..i need a larger diameter size .. i have a dia. of 2'an not
       enough torque.... fine for water flow..to turn my little
       generator depending on flow rates an size that can happen... do
       but wind is different...
       i have a problem with torque not enough ....explained in in
       this way.. under a load!  there is going to be even more torque
       .... so i have been advised to extend my circumference to a
       minimum of up to 8' in diameter an height of 5-6...' this
       changes everything a bit... a light goes off (a water Ferris
       wheel gravity fed hmmm ???...)maybe>then once i achieve this
       stage i will need to stop it ! easy stop the water..
       second situation arises how to stop wind..?
       know my chair base shall become a top an bottom mounting
       bracket or i extend the arms length.... to a large circumference
       with a hub centered /attached to a shaft an gear attached to a
       hub (back to the gear formula ratio? now do i need a larger
       sprocket/gear hmm i don't think so..)  at the bottom off the
       hub.
       i have the idea that more mass equates  to greater speed an
       torque we will see.. as the  material will go larger ...  more
       surface area?  less drag ? more torque? makes sense.. to my
       permanent motor magnet generator dc
       we will see...i may taking a drive to metro to look at there's
       up close..
