Homemade Wind Turbine Breathing Apparatus
i take 1 pvc pipe 21cm diameter.
and usiga saw i cut the shape o a triangular,
i repeat this 2 times. andi have 3 blades for my wind turbine.
the blades are 110 cm long.
The COMPRESSOR
the main part of this project is the compressor,
i recycle it from an old car.
this is a air conditioner compressor from an old ford car.
just for curiosity i took apart the back cover to see the pistons moving!
Making the Base for the Blades
the pvc bleades need a base to bo mounted:
so i took an old kitchen pan.
i cut away the bottom from it.
i trace 3 lines.
marked 7 dots using a permanente marker,
drill holes in the dots.
Connect the Blades to the Compressor
the kitchen pan bottom is welded in place on the shaft of the compressor.
make sure that everything spins freely and staight.
The Mask
a full face mask "you can find one here" : https://goo.gl/tT3kci
i decided to use one of this mask because haves 3 valved inside.
this means that i dont need a pressure regulator. all the pressure that is in exeed can go out from the bottom valve.
firs mod to the mask ir replace the snorkel uscig a brass 1/2" connector
insert the connector in the top part of the mask.secure the connection and close air leaks using pvc glue.
i took a 50ft long orange gas tube.
The Tube
15meters 50ft long tube is connected to the mask to one side.
the other side goes to the compressor air compressed exit.
yes the compressor haves 2 holes.
from one will suck air.
from the other will push compressed air.
The Structure.
i took 5 meters of steel and an old bed structure to make the structure of a crane.
i weld all the parts toghether,
and paint eveerything white to protect from rust.
this crane will work to hold the compressor and the blased at the right high,
Assemble the Parts
a small catamaran boat is usead as a floating base.
i can install the crane in the top.
and the PVC blades.
ceck that everything works ok.
swim pulling the boat on the spot i decide to explore.
