For mounting wind generator ( Pole and generator are not included)
Feature:
Guy wires are no longer needed if the height of the tower is less than 20 feet Easy Maintenance of the Wind Turbine. You no longer need to climb a ladder get the job done
Installation Overview:
- Dig a hole with a dimension of 80 x 80 x 80 cm
- Build a metal cube with dimension 60 x 60 x 60 cm using 12x 80cm x10mm steel rods
- Purchase 8 threaded J bolts (anchor bolts) with a diameter around 18 to 20 mm
- Make a card board with 8 holes matching the metal base
- Fill the hole with 10 cm of concrete and put the 60 cm metal cube in the center
- Stabilize the 8 anchor bolts into the hole with the card board we made in step 4, make sure the threaded part of the bolts is protruding above ground level
- Continue filling the hole with concrete for 15 cm
- Build a number sign "#" with 4x 80cm x 10mm steel rod, the square of the number sign should measure 30 x 30 cm and should be at the center
- Stick 4x 80cm x 10mm metal rod vertically at the corners of the 30 x 30 square. Make sure these rods do not stick out above ground by hammering them down
- Continue filling 30cm of concrete
- Build a 2nd 30 x 30cm number sign "#"
- Fill up concrete until level with ground.
- Wait 2 weeks for the concrete to dry (actual wait time will depend on the grade of your concrete)
- Place the base on the surface of the concrete foundation, with the end of 8 anchor bolts going thru the base.
- Secure the base to the 8 anchor bolts with washers and hex nuts
- Spray some anti-rust when you have the tower, turbine and everything installed at the end of project
FAQ:
1. Why do I have to build metal frame (cube) with steel rods? Can I skip them? The metal rods are to reinforce the concrete. Without these rods, your foundation will be very brittle and will not last long.
2. I don't have enough space, can I dig a smaller hole? Yes, in the above demo pictures, our foundation is not 80cm cubed. It is 100 x 50 x 50 cm. You just need to scale you metal frame accordingly
