Turbine Assembly

See the entire project at http://calebeng.weebly.com
A short video detailing the assembly of the turbine part of the windmill. The turbine consists of three 0.060" thick aluminum disks, eight brackets of 1.25" X 1.25" X 1/16" thick aluminum angle, and four 19.25" X 14.50" sheets of aluminum flashing. The flashing is attached with 1/8" diameter x 1/8" grip pop rivets and the brackets are attached to the plates with 1/8" diameter x 1/4" grip pop rivets. A 32" length of 1.25" schedule 40 PVC pipe runs down the center with 5/8" ID x 1.375" OD flanged bearings on each end.
