your turbine is too heavy, its inertia has stopped the blades from opening. You should try check-valve turbine design, like this one youtubedotcom/watch?v=M0V0GXYeFgM&feature=player_embedded
@MrPizzaman09 I am in the prosess of biulding a 2500 watt generator that i'm going to install on it . it seems to have plenty of power to pull it. im curently expanding the dia. to 30ft also. can't have to much power !!!
Even though someone might think it's slow, that any large system is slow, I live by some "giant" windmills, horizontal type, and they take about 3 seconds to rotate once.
Looks ok.I imagine lots of torque on this type of system, that can be converted to speed if needed using gears.I'm not sure how your system works: Either the wind is opening each blade/collector withough any effort from the other blades/collectors. OR, maby rig up some wires so that when one blade closes due to the wind, it will help pull the one that the wind is opening faster and vice-versa. I think there have been some ideas like that being passed around, but not tested on a large scale.

Wow, 2500 watts is a lot for a vawt. Good luck!

How much power do you make with that? Maybe 300 watts?
That is certainly very unique.
