This is my latest attempt at taking Ed Lenz's excellent design and 'simplicating' it to make it mass production suitable. I have chosen corflute plastic for its light weight, low price and transportability. Center shaft is two aluminium tubes with a Maglev bearing (two neodymium magnets). This design could be shipped flat packed and assembled by the user on site. Need to compete with solar price of around $5 per watt. I think I am happy with this rotor design now, time to start working on alternators.

  • You sure it's be best performer, or the one you've put in the most wind.

    Vawt 3 had no wind, and this is freaking gales! lol

  • It spins very nice! I like your thinking with ease of manufacturing and shipping. Electricity generation is the key. Are you thinking of 3 phase AC or DC? Keep us posted.

  • Of course. Ateismo!
