"VAWT" "Wind Turbine" Feel "free" to use any of these "concepts" in your "windmill" designs. The wing or plate that swings on a vertical rod has been around forever and the rest are just "conceptual designs" that I came up with. An engineer proficient using AVIs stress analysis application could determine structural integrity issues using these drawings. Who knows; maybe someone will perfect this "design concept" and build them to the same height as the large HAWTs. I (think) "Vertical Axis Wind Turbines" have the leverage potential to produce more power at lower wind speeds. I am amazed by the large HAWTs and many of the modern VAWTs but I hope that engineers, innovators and last but not least, financial risk takers will continue to find ways to lower the required wind speed. Constructive comments are welcomed. If you do not have any, Yes We Can! works for me. Thanks for viewing.

  • @1819engel That looks like a very efficient design. Thank You for posting the link.

  • Well, thank you for your offer, but it look too complicated to me. I will rather build small, simplest turbines.

    Your video is great. Especially your animation skill.

  • @MilanKarakas Thanks for your reaction. I like the simple VAWT you have on your channel. It sounds like you almost fell off the roof as you were recording. Ha! Good Job.

  • Please take a look at my FAVORITES section to see similar designs. My objective is to promote alternative energy and my videos may be published on any web site. Thank You

  • @TheWindGinProject Thank you too.

    Yes, I am used to walking on the roof, but it is difficult with two cameras in hands: photo and video.

    Your design is beautiful, but I am afraid that my budget permit me to build only humble turbines. Maybe in next life. :o)

  • Nice design exercises, realy useful. Try to convince your school to discuss the wind mill principes. For example discuss the advantage of this windmill compare to the Darrieus windmill (France 1931)
