wind composter

This vertical axis wind turbine powers a gear reducer to turn a composter. It turns the composter about once a hour at 8 mph winds. It is one of the entries for the Instructables Epilog Challenge. See: http://www.instructables.com/id/Wind-powered-Composter/

Just watched your video. Nice build! I like the union/bushings. That's exactly the sorta solution that I'd apply to the problem. The thing I'm working on is a good door solution that doesn't leak. I'm going to cut a door that opens inward and the door will be larger than the opening. That way the dirt presses the door closed and helps seals it. Great build
