vawt 3d printable
Description
this is a 3d printable vawt i designed to test viability for a much bigger machine i intended to build, this model was as far along as i got, i was unable to manufacture a suitable axial flux coreless generator to test it output. the end caps can be use with no blade sections and you will see it functions, i took this to mean my end caps were not creating huge tip turbulence, the overlap of the blades was optimised for even output rpm for the whole rotation. from memory the foil is naca0021il please check as this is being uploaded at request from a project i done many years ago. -----NOT TO BE USED AS A WIND TURBINE AS A 3D PRINT, EDUCATION MODEL ONLY--- this is not intended as a functional turbine and should you make one take precautions as printed parts can not reliably handle the loads and it will shatter violently, this is for education on the shape and aerodynamics, it would require a composite skin to ensure it can survive the loads, yes i have a video of it working as a 3d print but in life we are responsible for are own decision stay safe.
