Fauceted VAWT

thingiverse

This VAWT is a continuation of some previous research of mine. It's startling to see a wind turbine made from a series of flat planes, but at the very low Reynolds number this type of turbine works at, it doesn't need to be smooth, or so goes the theory.... I hope to start testing it next week. I don't use thingiverse much anymore as I'm afraid it's to unstable and could disappear at any time, as well, it has no good contests! If you want to be updated on the project, please follow me on Instructables, https://www.instructables.com/member/Drewrt/instructables/ where you can read more about this project, or on youtube, where I've got lots to see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPAC1zZ9AOw&t=38s
