Big homemade Vawt

I took the first design that was an "s" shape Vawt and added a third blade. where i live i have a normal wind speed of 4 to 8 mph with this design it will start at low wind speed and I think it will have alot power to be geard up like 10 times or higher. Now i just have to save up money to get magnets to build the genorator. i do have 2 altornators but i have no clue how to get them to give me power. your opinons are welcom thank you all

How did you attach to the shaft?

@sjh7132 the shaft is pvc with two ball bearings that fit into it and the center of that is a 1/2" electric conduit
