Second video on making a residential homemade wind turbine. This video shows how to make the vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) blades. What material is used and how to cut them out.

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 …

Nice build. Thought you might like to check out some of my plastic blade ideas. Cheers? from Oz.
Actually you are …

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 …

A pretty? safe way to check polarity of the magnets is to use a much smaller magnet of known polarity.
So,,, what does …

So,,, what does this beast crank out in watts and amps at what rpm’s. Thanks for the? vid. Regards.

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
Where did you get …

Where did you get the? steel magnet plate?
Thank s for your …

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…
Wow I can’t wait? …

Wow I can’t wait? to see this thing in action.TAKE CARE
