wow the potential of this is very little known thankyou for the physics and your presentation absolutely ginormous

Form a partial ring from a copper pipe the same diameter as the magnets on the wheel and position the copper ring close to the spinning magnets. Pump water through the pipe. You will have a wind powered water heater.

Thanks Tim! The highlight of my week is watching you tame the World through physics!

Something that nobody seem to do on this induction heating wheels is put a steel backing plate so the magnetic circuit gets shorter increasing the power of the magnets significantly.

In Potsdam organisieren rechtsradikale organisierte schwerstverbrecher Massenmord und vergasungen und sind stolz drauf

i wonder if you could get some onto an angle grinder, without them just fliniging off, would make a heater for rusty fasteners!

you should be able to maximise output by having the copper tube go all the way around the circle. then you could circulate water through the loop. I suspect the optimal solution would be a large disk of metal with channels through it for the water to flow.

Great stuff (Celsius).

I'd really be curious to understand whether this approach is more efficient than generating electricity with a generator and then dumping it resistively into something.

I was paranoid of the magnets flying out of the disk, causing a chain reaction of brittle magnets flying across the room at 1000rpm. Glad it worked out ok

stack disks into drums to get more power in a compact space.

LOL...Should have used those "Clearance" wind turbine magnets they have... Ahhhhh "Next Time"..😁!

fun

I'll just go and turn the jug on to heat the water.

0:45 ish. I partially disagree! For some people should not wear spandex!

Look up NAC for your flu

At 14:40 you of course meant to say 1 degree per SECOND!

How could anyone not like this experiment... Truly great idea and construction to prove the theory... Thumbs Up, post more of your ideas!

You could use this to make wind a forge 😂

New one for me. Thanks. How much 'drag' did the tube experience?

☘️Based on the condition of his shop and mine I’m theorizing that I’m part Irish.🍀

Very interesting, thanks for posting this. I would be very curious to know - does the water heat up faster (all other conditions being the same) if you used ferromagnetic material as the water container, as opposed to copper?

wonder what the efficiency of this setup is! i imagine it would be right around 100%, same as resistive heating. Use the wind mill to run a heatpump!

incredibly informative, thanks

Do the magnets get hot as well? Won't they loose their magnetism due to the heat?

Cut out the middle man! :)

How exciting!!!

1:03 that looks like an induction unit built by EGO … the company I work for uses EGO induction cookers in our products … this is an older model though I’d say .

I don't think this would be very practical. First, as the plates wear, less friction would occur. Most of the friction is generated from the wear of the plates. Making the plates smooth would reduce the friction as well. Second, if you use oil to prevent rust, the friction would be greatly reduced since the oil is a lubricant. Also, to ensure the oil doesn't ignite, you would use the oil found in power line transformers (or expensive silicone oil).

If you had a pipe the full circumference you would use the full power available ?

Your sparrow neighbors sound quite excited too : )

Very interesting thank you

sick !

Next, heat flowing water in the pipe. You can use the heated water to heat the house.

This is the best thing I've seen in years.

If the pipe was circular around the circumference of the disk you could take fuller advantage of the effect.

so, converting to electric is more effective........almost like someone mentioned before, repeatedly (wink)

Glad to see you investigating magnets. Having worked with Neodymium magnets before, I can warn you pay close attention to the temperature warnings: the magnets lose strength quite rapidly and permanently starting at around 80c So you'll want to keep the heat you're generating away from the magnets you're using the generate it. A vexing problem. Good Luck!

A few thoughts on scaling it up to the windmill. For one, you could have one large power take-off shaft, and then multiple belts coming off to multiple spinning magnetic wheels - much like how the old water powered factories of the early industrial revolution worked. Following on that, you can have more than one pully, and thus get a gear ratio/transmission effect going, so a large slow windmill can translate into small fast disks. Directly induction heating a house might be a bit hard, but boiling water with induction and setting up a steam plant might work well.

I like this concept a lot. A full ring of copper pipe circulating water by a shaft driven pump sounds like a more possibly more efficient way to use the wind power than having to first convert the motion to electricity and then back into either heat or motion again to heat and pump water.

huh drill bit flutes = premade shaft keyways. Good idea. Weird combination of super low tech and then a cnc mill+cad.

I am impressed. It's simple, but it works, so the full sized windmill is definitely worth a trial. My only question would be:- What do you want it for? If it is for something like a central heating system, then it might actually work well as the windmill could also drive a small pump to circulate the water. You may have problems, though, on cold frosty days which often have no wind, so don't scrap your existing heaters.

You know... physics is kind of amazing...

Cody's lab did something similar and managed to melt a small bit of metal with it. For heating water maybe get a thinner disc of aluminium to mount the magnets in and then have a coil of copper pipe on either side of the magnets for doubling the efficiency?, you could connect the two coils and then water will automatically rise up and form a very slow moving pump that can be used to automatically draw water from a container and heat it gradually.

Thanks for sharing your ideas and video. Very interesting and entertaining. Imagine if you had a coil of small diameter copper tubing wound to the same diameter as your circle of magnets. Install it to a fixed point above the magnets and give it a water reservoir and circulation loop. Put a power meter on your motor input and compare the power needed to spin with empty no water tube to a water filled tube and compare how much load it puts on the drill motor vs amount of water and temperature gain.

Have you got any plans for this windmill? I think you should make it a priority. Your madcap ideas would surely be tripled in strength! You'd feel obliged to build things so as not to waste all the free energy, and you wouldn't be abusing your poor old drill. As far as that goes, maybe you could get a cheap nasty hand drill, so that when you wear it out, it won't really be a setback or much of a cost. I just imagine that if you built the windmill, and make it a decent enough powerful one, at least a few hundred watts or maybe a couple of kilowatts, you'd be out there all day sticking things to it. Maybe have a belt system like that used to power Victorian factories. Where they'd have a big steam engine or waterwheel, driving a long shaft the length of the factory, and tools or weaving looms would have a leather belt up wrapped round it, delivering torque to their machines. Use a decent sized belt or pulley that could deliver decent power, maybe alternating with smaller cheaper pulleys, depending what you're trying to power. The slip of the belt provides a clutch for safety. Actually don't turn your entire house into a mill. Just do the windmill part, but give it a versatile way to take off power.

A really charming and interesting video. I like your unpretentious and functional setup and making use of what you have at hand. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your windmill construction and I'm hoping you get well soon. Perhaps for the large windmill it would be a good idea to use a mechanical reduction to spin a smaller disk faster? It would save you buying a lot of magnets and I think they aren't cheap. Another question: Will you be putting the copper all around the disk, or just in one place like it was in the demonstration? Greetings from the baltic coast of germany.

Great to see it work.😊

Wonderful stuff. I'd imagine that the main problem of wind power will be the gearing.

Converting motion to electricity, like from a windmill, is already very efficient, motors and generators are usually up past 80% and likely 90% Then a resistive electric heater is effectively 100% efficient, since any energy lost in conversion is wasted as heat. And in a heater that's not a waste! So you don't need to do it this way. This is much more entertaining though! I suppose cheaper, too, than buying an electric generator powerful enough. Really this IS an electric generator and heater all in one, the bit of copper that gets hot creates electricity then runs it through itself, creating heat. The jiggling of electrons isn't the same thing as the jiggling of atoms, which is what temperature is. There's the intermediate step in here of electricity being created then turned into heat, it doesn't directly jiggle atoms into heat.
