Your Blades are? great i had check them up all ready some time ago, I decided to build these up metal because, believe it or not plastic pieces are quite hard to find where i live. What about the simplified blades u made… are they really any better?
Nice build. Thought …

Actually you are right… It s they first thing i did at first ;o) unfortunately this technique is? usable only once with this king of magnets… since you will just fade away all the magnetism of the weakest magnet after 1 or 2 trial.

A pretty? safe way to check polarity of the magnets is to use a much smaller magnet of known polarity.

Got it from a sheet of metal i had… i had to cut it my self, but u can also find somebody that does the cuting for you? with jet water, it will be much easyer i guess ;o) NB just uploaded my new video regarding the blades. Enjoy

Thank s for your comment Well these are just very? small test blades… ;o) the original are 1m tall and 50 cm wide… i will show them very soon with a new upload. i will also explain how i did them…
Very interesting …

Very interesting project. It looks like your going to have a nice low RPM/high output generator? there. I think the blades are way too small though. With the drag of the generator, you’ll probably need a much wider blade span.
Thanks for the …

Thanks for the comment… I will probably add another video? next month since i am still testing blade shapes…
