Ive got a twelve blade 150 watt usawindgen on its way,I got a free upgrade from a six blade cause the guy is a decent human being,they look like they makes good use of the wind.You can get one at a good price where I got mine,and I bet that light will burn,along with a few more with wind like that.
You,ve done a great job on ,now all you need is a treadmill motor or a blue max generator and some 12 volt batteries and your in business .I've just got thru with a 32 blade pvc double rotor with a 7 to 1 wooden pulley ,the main drive pulley is 14 inchs wooden with a treadmill motor generator
It's only 3 watt, so its not so much. I just made tis turbine to test the torque and speed with 12 blades. The turbine is only powering a light bulb, and i'm not planning to connect it to a battery.
I like it. I would have this lighting my yard at night.Try a big capacitor instead of a battery it will damp any surges. It looks like it was fun to build........
what blades are you using and were did you buy the 12 blade from

I made the blades myself out of ordinary pvc-pipe. The pipe-wall is quite thin, so they are not too heavy. Fun project!
