Nice design.... I am building a rotocaster capable of mfg up to 80 inch length blades.... It would take about a week to put a mold together for any design...MFG production rate about an hour each...

[billmalta1]

maybe you should try to attach each facing corner with a metal cable.... you have more friction but it will be more secure.... i don t know what sheet of metal you are using but never underestimate power of nature ;o) if your blades open up with speed you could make several damage to your project... anyway very nice job ! well done

I HAVE SEVERAL MODIFICATIONS TO FABRICATE AS WELL AS OTHER DESIGNS

AEROBINE 360 - OPEN YOUR EYE!!!

EMAIL ME IF YOU WANT TO FUND THIS AND BUILD THEM ON MASS PRODUCTION!!!

COME ON!!! I GOT ACCESS TO ALL THE TOOLS AND CNC MILLS YOU COULD EVER NEED!!!

[pureheart7]

wow you've been busy

[AerobineVAWT]

@pureheart7

HI!!! :) NOT BUSY ENOUGH!!! BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS DEVELOPED AND WILL SELL THIS DESIGN TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO HELP MANUFACTURE THESE AND OTHER PROJECTS!!!

[IronHorsez88]

there's plenty that you can do to increase the efficiency of this design. If only people where able to put them into a wind tunnel and smoke test them...

But I can see that you need to creat horizontal air dams on top and bottom (scoops), so this design with a solid center disk would be much better. A wind scoop effect is where the real torque comes in and adds no drag on the opposing side.

@IronHorsez88

INTERESTING...THANK YOU...I WOULD LIKE TO BUILD A FEW NEW DESIGNS

[bullcurr]

what'll really kick ass , is if you can find some kind of "plastic" ( for lack of a better term) you can form into that shape which would have the same area yet lighter and almost as strong.

seems it would respond to even lighter breezes.

just a thought!

[AerobineVAWT]

@bullcurr

THANKS THATS A GREAT IDEA!

[sjh7132]

Okay, I think you've proved it can spin. It will be interesting to see if it can produce any power.

[chevybrat]

I salute you. Keep it up, and don't pay attention to crap unless you step in it.

[ParapaDrifter]

I think this design could use some structural rigidity... realize that when the propellers vibrate and bend, you lose momentum and power..

Personally I would think that a slow moving sail type turbine would be the best way to capture wind energy.

Sail boats are huge and they've sailed all over the place capturing energy. Now how do we adopt such a tech for a land VAWT

I'm a visual artist as well :) among other things.

[jasong19711]

I like how it is metal which is stronger than most

other materials so it will withstand much wind force.

[DeanC993]

very nice is it on a genrator

[thevoiceofreason02]

Looks very unstable

[smkuhner]

you look very unstable, that looks awesome

[oaky132x]

Zing.....

[humanswin]

Excellent that you did this,innovation by citizens will change the world.Dont expect corporations to.

[imikewillrockyou]

What happens when you put a load on it? Like a fixed magnet alternator?

[brockeastman]

This thing is weak in 15-20+MPH winds..

[AerobineVAWT]

ANd you know this because...? :)

[JamboyStu]

How much power does it generate?

[AerobineVAWT]

TBA

[magicdog200]

i think the curves are slighlty too indented. you may get more force if they were reduced and the device was set off the ground a few feet.

looked strong enough to move a pm generator.

[Kevinite]

Sweet! Now, please tell me more about the Homopolar rotor you have in mind. I intend on doing the same thing with a VAWT also.

[danblckwd]

The camera cant pick up how fast it's spinning. it only appears to be moving slow. you can hear the wind blow harder and it looks like its gonna stop at 1:08.

[CapttainVag]

that wind sounds ferocious but look how slow its going....what kind of watts are you generating

[heroineworshipper]

A wind turbine would be a no brainer if 1/10th an acre of land wasn't $40 million in Calif*.

[Martintfre]

So how many Schwarzenegger notes does it take to by 1/10 acre in Calefornia these days?

[seshkanuri]

Why is it not spinning much in such high wind? We can hear the wind howling in the camera's microphone, but dont see the blades moving much.

does not look like a good design. The fold in the blade seem to be negating the postive impact of the darrieus portion of the blade.

[concerned00citizen]

..is this a whirly gig or is it hooked up producing power?

[dobermans4you]

good work!

[mousepotato64]

This looks like a great design, One person CAN make a difference. I really believe that VAWT's are the way to go. But just one thing, It should be Vertical AXIS, not Access. Although having access to the vane is also a good thing :)

[AerobineVAWT]

Duh :) thanks!

[AerobineVAWT]

I have help from my own personal super freinds team. We are amazing! website in info box. Generator designs are still being tested and wind tunnel tests asap. 1111 views today, thanks for all your emails and comments. If anyone would like to help me with the Aerobine project...i would love to chat. Peace in.

[embeddedprogrammer]

This is very nice. How did you fabricate the blades and bearings?

[AerobineVAWT]

The design is not flawed...it is the frame rate on my camera that makes it look like its spinning backwards. You can see what way it spins when I first let go of the wind wings.

Future design upgrades are to make some type of holes in the center to better allow the air to spill out of the blades.

[solarnation]

I'm into vertical axis turbines. I built the Savonius one.  Your design is flawed and I will tell you why in private message.
