Its going backwards if you north of the equator.

@StarTrek2012 The VAWT must have half the blades moving backwards at any given time - it's simply part of the design. Only a few of the blades are actually producing power - one of the reasons that VAWT are often expensive to construct - large materials cost per unit of power production. Also, Oregon has not enacted any sort of "gas savings tax". Oregon is considering switching to a "mileage tax", instead of a "fuel tax", charging by distance traveled, instead of fuel used.

I could never be wrong but is your blades backwards? I have heard so troubling news that if we all discover a system home energy and everyone gets on board with it that the Government will just tax us like the local government did in Oregon. They charged anyone who got a hybrid car a gas savings tax. Now it is our Government, you know the one that has our back (they recently broke that too) that give billions to power companies for them to build big dollar wind farms with turbines built overseas

@SimonFortney Did you ever end up finding a generator?

Nice project. Thanks for sharing

very nice!!!

plywood will rot quickly ,better cover it with fiberglass

Good job, buddy! What is the wind speed in the video? Ciao from Italy.

Thanks. I don't know didn't have a anemometer i would guess it was about 8 to 10 meters per second, so it was a fairly good breeze. I haven't tested it under load yet but i am working on a new turbine. I'm going to use aluminum for the hubs and thinner gauge stainless for the foils. It should put out a good amount of power.

Hello, how would you mount the motor and would you have to build a fram around it to keep it sturdy? I am wondering how much power output it would make. Finally. How much would you sell your blueprints for?

Hi, I used a steel bar for the axis, so a frame is not necessary. I mounted a sprocket to the bottom of the rotor using a bearing, flanges and bolts. My intent was to use sprockets to increase the rpm output. but I have decided that pulleys and belts are are better fit as well as more cost effective. As far as power output I haven't found a suitable generator. Finally. I will work on blueprints, but for now its all up in my head rattling around with all the other BS.
