My name is Thomas and I am 15 so going now to high school. I wanna show you new ideas with my instructables. Hope you like it.
Intro: Device Charging with a Multi-turbine (on faucet, wind, bike, while sporting and etc.)
I love every green energy gadgets and devices but they are specialized only for one electricity generator like a solar cell or a wind turbine. the wind turbine chargers are
big and they can't be used as a hydroturbine. I tried to make a waterproof multiturbine that can be powered by wind or by any flowing material like water. So I designed
this very small charger that can be installed on a faucet, on a bike, or in a river (or everywhere you want). Works well under your downspout or on your arm while
running. It charges a 3000 mAh Li-Ion battery but can be connected directly to your phone. Before we start you need to know that this instructable completes my solar
charger instructable but can be used separately too. The most of the parts that I used are salvaged from somewhere so this was a really cheap project. So I'll describe
you where I got my parts in the next step. Oh and I'll make a new design for this gadget because don't like how now is looking. I hurried to complete until the ending date
of the Make energy contest. So gather materials!
glue gun
multimeter
cutting tools
rotary tool
electrical tape
solder and soldering

The motor and the propeller are salvaged from my old RC Helicopter but you can find also in any phones without the propeller. You can make a propeller from a plastic
sheet (costs about $1). The 5v voltage step up is bought from the ebay.
for the power bank you'll need a 3.7v battery with a capacity between 3000-2000mAh
a USB lithium charger circuit
a switch
and a 5v step up circuit
Use a box for the power bank, I hurried and I haven't at home!
So the batteries that you can see on the pictures are salvaged from old phones (950mAh, 1000mAh and 1020mAh). The lithium charger is from the same RC Heli. Never
charge lithium batteries without a charger circuit they can explode! If your partlist is complete let's go crafting!

Step 2: Soldering-Turbine
This will be very easy. If you have enough space for your full circuit don't cut the USB jack. I needed to cut and soldered back with a wire later you'll see why I made this.
Be careful with the polarities! My motor polarity has been revesred. So simply solder the two wires of the DC motor to the 5v step up somehow like on the images.If your
circuit is done go craft in a PVC tube.

Step 6: Waterproofing
Get your glue gun and electrical tape agian and make ot waterproof. I think no need more explanation. So go test it!

great idea could you mount it in a funnel to increase wind velocity and use it as a wind generator

you might get a little more power if you used a bridge rectifier taking the ac voltage from the motor and producing dc

Thank you for the links and I'll put in a project box.

great. ..

Before the first charging they were discharged so the voltage increased equable. Than you!

each would hold 850 giving a total of 2550 when i used my pack of varying sizes it did exactly that
Imetomi says:
dasimpson1981 says:
all that will happen is the lowest capacity cell will shut off and then the next largest cell with charge and so on
dasimpson1981 says:
also each one of these cells has a protection circuit so will not over charge or over discharge
