Small Scale Windmill (2 ft Dia.)

Description

This Is A Remix Of A Smaller Model. Scaled Up By A Factor Of 2.085 To Accommodate 12" Blades. All Parts Scaled To Fit And Use #6-32 And 608Zz Bearings And A 5/16"-18 Threaded Rod. It Kinda Works...I Believe The Blade Design Is Better Suited For Higher Winds. Probably Work On A Design For Lower Speeds That Will Increase The Diameter Most Likely. Update 8/15/2014: So I Learned Myself Some Stuff About Bearings And Realized Thrust Bearings Were Better Suited For This Project. I Designed A Printable Thrust Bearing That Uses Bb Gun Pellets As The Bearings And Works Great. Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:429990
