Self-made savonius

[enticed2zeitgeist]

Your next step is to magnetically levitate it ;) then slap an array of stepper motors on it ;) lol

Very sweet design. I am about to build a savonius vawt myself and use it to pump water up about 8 ft. I have everything in my head on how I want to build it and will be starting soon.

Thanks for the note on the bearing, Im looking at designs that use what is laying around rather then purchasing things.

Great to hear you found it useful!

[ghettobirdgimp]

Mate I love it. I've been reading heaps on the net re: the billion designs. I'm about to try and build a VAWT. I always like the Savonius for simplicity and am about to build something similar.

Could you give me some rough dimensions just for interest?
