  • - at 0:31 we see a pendulum hub (Pendelnabe) typical for 2 blade designs

    - at 0:57 you can see a support structure which even using a 2 blade design with reduced torque is likely not stiff enough to counter torsion beetween gearbox and generator, the gearbox which should in this case act also as then main bearing supporting the rotor.

    2 bladers are intersting for the future when it comes to reducing gearbox sizes ->

    2 blades means more rpms less torque than same diameter with 3 rotors.
