Some video of the Lenz 2 on the dock since I re did the wing shape and put a new 55 turn per coil stator on the 12 inch alt. It has improved performance on it but still a little harder to turn than I'd like. The alternator is still holding it back on RPM's.

@GoVertical17 I did try a crudly cut set of foam wings on there but I was not getting good results when I had them on both wings. I think if I had stayed with it and tweaked the wing angles etc. it might have been better but I already had these modified lenz wings built and sitting in the way in my garage. So I decided to rebuild them with the correct shape for lenz 2 wings and they seem better for power than the foam wings. They also get good RPM's. I will still experiment.

Hi, congratulations. Very nice work. Was there a reason you did not pursue the bi-blades?

Enjoy the holidays.
