Wind Turbine Airfoil for Vertical Axis Turbine

thingiverse

This airfoil is designed for a vertical axis wind turbine, and these prototypes are currently under construction and testing. I utilized an original symmetric NACA Airfoil as the basis for the vertical axis rotor blades. To assemble this system, you will need to acquire the following components: * 8mm rods (aluminum or steel) The assembly process involves simply pushing the airfoils onto the rod to secure them in place. It is recommended that the rods be at least 720mm long to ensure optimal performance. In terms of power generation, I estimate that this system could produce approximately 100 watts with three rotor blades, each measuring 900mm in height. To complete the development process, several tasks remain: * Complete the prints for the three large turbine blades * Assemble the blades into a functional wind turbine * Conduct power tests to validate performance * Implement an automatic storm control system to prevent damage during high winds Change Log: * May 30, 2016: Rohrverbinder V2 uploaded, featuring increased thickness for improved power handling.
