we got a whole slew of scrap lying
around our property and we happen to
have a treadmill that we could probably
salvage the motor from and use it for a
generator crazy that was nuts
what are you doing I’m taking this thing
apart
that was crazy I love taking things
apart don’t you motors need to eat
electricity to spin and turn stuff and
then if you physically turn a motor
backwards with wind power hand power
water power it creates electricity to
recharge the battery on their truck Tony
and Amelia’s wind turbine needs to crank
out nearly 15 volts of electricity
enough to power more than 160 watt light
bulbs what working in the next step in
this jigsaw puzzle would be the shaft
let’s go search through our junk piles
you know property yeah we’re looking
around under the house and we find a few
different sizes a PVC that can be kind
of put together
now we’re cooking with PVC and then we
found a long metal rod to connect our
motor to our turbine cool look how do
you make the blade component of the
turbine I should do it our next step is
to build the turbine that’s the part
that actually is being spun by the wind
so we need to find something we can use
to make the blades of the turbine uh-huh
yes and then we end up finding snow
shovels oh nice I might have a design in
my brain we’re gonna see how badass of a
junk wizard I am gotta crank it up a
notch
got it Wow look at that my masterpiece
look at that freaked out contraption
that’s from the future I think the cool
thing about found materials is they’re
free but sometimes they’re the wrong
dimension or a little discombobulated
you gotta get pretty creative to figure
out how to get all the found materials
to work with one another that’s a tight
one yeah
we’re ready to install it so the next
step is to get this big crazy wind
turbine up on top of the tower that’s
gonna be a little bit dangerous but take
a look for it

have a treadmill that we could probably
