This innovative Helix Wind model has been specifically designed to be easily printable and mountable for display, experimentation, and hands-on testing. To facilitate smooth mounting, a precise 8.3mm mounting hole is strategically integrated into the design, perfectly accommodating a sturdy wooden 5/16 inch dowel. This meticulously crafted model was developed as part of an undergraduate research project with the primary objective of thoroughly testing power generation and wakefield generation capabilities. When properly mounted, this cutting-edge model will rotate seamlessly in both wind and water testing environments. For optimal performance, consider pairing it with the custom design base available at https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/19977-vawt-base-mount.
