- **Event Name**: Build a Small Wind Turbine | Adeiladu Tyrbin Gwynt Bach
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 16 May, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sun, 17 May, 2026 at 04:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Generate electricity with a homemade wind turbine.

Join Tom Dixon of V3 Power to build a wind turbine yourself, from scratch.

Drawing on over ten years of experience in teaching people how to build small wind turbines, Tom has developed a new design, customised to help you learn the most practical and theoretical skills in a short amount of time.

---Key information---

Duration: two day
Upcoming date: Saturday 16 – Sun 17 May 2026
Start and finish times: 10.00am to 4.00pm
Fees: £298
Includes:  lunch, tuition, and all materials
What to bring: as this is a highly practical course, safety boots are required. We also strongly advise you to bring waterproof clothing.

---What you will learn---

Learn to build an electricity generating wind turbine from simple materials, using a range of hand tools and techniques.

You will carve a wooden blade, turn a copper coil, manipulate powerful magnets and fabricate a metal mounting together as a team.

Once all the parts are brought together the complete turbine is tested on a short tower and you will see your hard work rewarded 
as the batteries fully charge.

By hand building all the elements you will gain confidence in your own practical ability.

The range of tasks involved allows you to get a sense of which skills you may be interested in developing further.

Get a fantastic sense of achievement as you see the project develop from a pile of raw materials through to a fully working system, and get a greater understanding of the underlying scientific principles involved.

This course is ideal for a community group, bunch of friends, a team-building exercise, or anyone else looking to get their hands dirty.

Cynhyrchu trydan gan ddefnyddio tyrbin gwynt wedi’i wneud â llaw.

Ymunwch â Tom Dixon o V3 Power i adeiladu eich tyrbin gwynt eich hun.

Gan fanteisio ar dros ddeng mlynedd o brofiad o addysgu pobl sut i greu tyrbinau gwynt bach, mae Tom wedi datblygu dyluniad newydd, wedi’i addasu er mwyn eich helpu i ddysgu’r sgiliau mwyaf ymarferol a damcaniaethol mewn amser byr.

---Gwybodaeth allweddol---

Hyd: dau ddiwrnod
Dyddiad nesaf: Dydd Sadwrn 16 – Dydd Sul 17 Mai 2025
Amser: dechrau am 10yb a gorffen am 4:00yp
Cost y cwrs: £298
Yn cynnwys: cinio, hyfforddiant a’r holl ddeunyddiau
Yn cynnwys: hyfforddiant, yr holl ddeunydd, cinio
Beth sydd ei angen arnoch: gan fod hwn yn gwrs hynod ymarferol, bydd angen i chi ddod ag esgidiau diogelwch gyda chi.

---Yr hyn y byddwch yn ei ddysgu---

Byddwch yn dysgu sut i greu tyrbin gwynt a fydd yn cynhyrchu trydan gan ddefnyddio deunyddiau syml, a chan ddefnyddio amrediad o dechnegau ac offer llaw.

Byddwch yn cerfio llafn pren, yn troi coil copr, yn trin magnedau pwerus ac yn creu mowntin metel gyda’ch gilydd fel tîm.

Ar ôl dwyn y darnau ynghyd, profir y tyrbin ar dŵr byr a byddwch yn gweld eich gwaith caled yn cael ei wobrwyo wrth i’r batris gael eu gwefru yn llawn.

Trwy greu’r holl elfennau â llaw, byddwch yn meithrin hyder yn eich gallu ymarferol.

Mae amrediad y tasgau dan sylw yn caniatáu i chi gael ymdeimlad o ba sgiliau y byddai gennych chi ddiddordeb yn eu datblygu ymhellach efallai.

Byddwch yn cael ymdeimlad gwych o gyflawniad wrth i chi weld y prosiect yn datblygu o bentwr o ddeunyddiau crai i system sy’n gweithio’n llawn, ac yn cael mwy o ddealltwriaeth o’r egwyddorion gwyddonol sylfaenol dan sylw.

Mae’r cwrs hwn yn ddelfrydol ar gyfer grŵp cymunedol, grŵp o ffrindiau, fel arfer datblygu tîm, neu unrhyw un arall sy’n dymuno gwneud rhywfaint o waith ymarferol.
