Hi Everyone,
I'm not very experienced in electronics, but I'm very eager to learn more. I watched a lot of the video lectures on this website, which is very helpful, but at the moment I'm doing a quite specific project where I could use some help with.
I'm building a small installation/sculpture which is powered by wind. I think it could work pretty simple, but maybe I'm wrong about that.
The idea is that a couple of small toy windmills (I'm making ones that are a bit bigger and stronger that average) power the installation. Every windmill is connected to a different part of the installation that starts moving when the windmills turns (see attached file). These small windmills will not generate much energy, but it should be enough to let an other small thing turn right?
So my first question is: Do you think it could work?
Then I need to know what I need to let it work; what kind of motors would you recommend? What components do I need in between the two motors?
It would be great if someone could give me some tips to help me out!
Cheers,
Kiki
