helix / vertical windmill

thingiverse

I'm excited to share my design for a vertical windmill that gives back just as much love. Here's the lowdown on how I made it: my vertical windmill spins smoothly at low wind speeds and looks fantastic. To bring this project to life, you'll need some key components: * 2 x bearings - 608RS, 8 mm in diameter, 22 mm long, and 7 mm thick (you can use skateboard bearings) * A 60 cm threaded rod with an M8 (8mm) thread * 2 x M8 screws to secure everything in place * Some M8 washers to add a bit of extra support * And finally, you'll need a custom attachment to mount your vertical windmill - this is where the magic happens!
