"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.

  • Note; All of my concepts are just first attempts to show potential for a low wind speed system. This also helps me to improve with Autodesk Inventor. I make this point in all of my videos but every once in a while I'll get some crazy comment and it's always clear that they didn't read the description or any comments but it makes me wonder if most people think I'm trying to sell my wild concepts. Ha! This is simply a public collaboration experiment pertaining to alternative energy.

  • Please feel free to post videos or ideas regarding alternative energy in the message section of any of my videos. Thanks!

  • It's a slow but powerful turbine, great concept bro!

  • @PleasureTV Thanks! This was my first concept and I have considered drawing it out with much longer arms to increase the torque potential. I can visualize long arms similar to a sailplane’s wing. The longer arms would also reduce the required wind speed. Please check out my channel to see a variety of concept videos I have created. I’m almost finished with a new design that I’ll upload soon.

  • 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

  • I appreciate your interest. Yes, many concepts shown here are my unique designs but there are several people working with similar ideas which all have unique features. The flap wind turbine is not a new concept but innovators continue to find improvements. Hopefully, there will be several different types that will operate at lower wind speeds and be cost effective.

  • @otivaeey I agree. I have many improvements in mind. Thank You
