After looking at your video. It looks like you have bearings that rotate on the shaft for both wing sections. so you should be able to just attach the stator to the bottom section to turn it opposite.
Quite right. That was my intention from the start. And that's what I've done, only I have not used brake disks to have magnets on both sides of the stator (coil ring). I am working on it though! Currently I have disassembled both upper and lower wings (drums) and by next week I hope to have reassembled them so as to have magnets on both sides of the stator. I will have to build a new stator of course, since the current one is too small for the the brake disks I could scrap. We'll see...
I had a weld break on my frame on the one on my dock so I redid it I have my rotors and stator at the bottom now. Still have a few things to put back together on it. Won't get it done for a day or two. Then maybe I'll post a video of what it looks like now.
The stator is attached to the shaft, which the lower wings are attached to , so stator rotates with lower wing & shaft and Rotors rotate with upper wings only.
I don't have two seperate shafts. The bearings are what's different. The upper bearings rotate On the shaft and the bottom are pillow block bearings attached to the frame. The upper wing has the magnet rotors attached to the wing supports so they rotate with the wings.
you won't double the speed in low wind it will divide between the 2 sections. It will cut vibration at higher winds and produce a lot more at higher winds.
Thanks for the kind remarks. I've studied your clips of opposite turning lenz2 and I must say I am intrigued to go with your approach using two independent shafts instead of one I'm using. It makes sense because:
a) the chances of the shaft bending under stress will be 0 and
b) I won't have to use an expensive bore-trough slip-ring (about $120 including postage)
I'll try to fit a couple of brake-disks between the two turbine sections to have magnets on both sides of the coils.
You don't have to have the generator in the center, I figured out you can put it on the bottom or top also. I got a cheap slip ring on ebay for about $40. It's on the one on the roof , seems to work fine.

your on the right track. you need to run the wires down the center of the bottom shaft to a slip ring.

I just put the whole thing up for about an hour or so, just to see if it works at all. (hence the flimsy support system)
