vertical wind-turbine prototype

thingiverse

this is a prototype of a vertical wind-turbine i design, the wind conditions where not optimal I have never seen one with this design, but i had the idea, and i wanted to test or it would work. you can find the video with this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIFUfXpXttE I used an old hub motor from a bike as a generator it was 24v 250w and a 2GT timing belt 1000mm and 4 KFL000 bearings ( 10mm ) I think it is also possible to use a electronic wind direction indicator, and hold the blades in the right position using stepper motors then it is easier to upscale the turbine. en if there is to much wind you can hold them in a neutral position. have a look at my other designs ( also more turbines )
