vertical wind turbine

[AndyGB]

Great looking project and thanks for posting the DXF's.

While searching for more info on VAWT's I came across this web site that has full building instructions and kit's of parts for the bits you can't make yourself.

the type of wire.

Playing around with a mini VAWT. Height is just under 20 inches tall. Sorry for the image quality being so bad, they were taken with my ipod. Anyway, fun project to mess around with. Built a jig to make it simple to assemble the wings. Center hubs and arms need to be heavier material. But this is not really intended to work, I don?t think.
