Wind Turbine Mesh Node

Açıklama

This is designed to be a wind-powered node for Meshcore/Meshtastic networks.Disclaimer: This design is still undergoing testing, and so far it has failed to charge itself reliably. The wind conditions where I am testing it are really terrible though (low average windspeed, sheltered area, turbine situated below roof/tree height in turbulence), so in proper conditions it should perform as designed. If anyone builds it and gets it running, do please tell me how it performs!See overview video here for circuit diagrams:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL6E8QJHeZwThe circuitry has changed a bit since I made the video, the components list is now as follows:Capacitors: 100V 470uF 5pcsZener (TVS) Diode: 1.5KE91A 1pcsRectification Diodes: SR5100 5A 100V 12pcsIt uses this motor as a generator:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006317036687.htmlThis voltage regulator, to regulate to 5V:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005976497776.htmla 2x18650 parallel holder, such as this:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009609871811.htmland this 68x36mm solar panel on top:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007298732132.htmlit also requires 2pcs 4mmx8mmx3mm bearings, a length of brass rod OD4mmxL125mm (which will require a crossdrilled hole for the blade hub key pin), and a 4mm to 2mm shaft coupler or universal joint. A universal joint might help reduce friction in the drivetrain.Included in the images is the layout of the components on stripboard (the strips run horizontally), such that the…
