Need to create hub bolt holes and support now. Might also design a split layout to print larger scoops. Want to test if it's worth $300 before investing in an injection molded version. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/12V-400W-Vertical-Axis-VAWT-Lantern-Wind-Turbine-Generator-Controller-Garden/323509419776 https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/gDoAAOSwO2hbzVGq/s-l1600.png A 12v Volt DC 300W Permanent Magnet Motor Generator can be purchased on eBay for under $100, potentially making it possible to build a hub for this. The half mold might need to be scaled up along the z-axis to scoop more air and make better use of print volumes. Arms can be extended as well, and this has hydropower potential if a sturdy way to join everything can be found. Pico turbines have significant potential too; I've seen their power using coffee cans and low wind speeds. I might have just invented a hot-air windmill using mini balloons.
