Wind Turbine, start of the final version (I hope!)

thingiverse

Hey! I've been experimenting with various versions of my wind turbine, which you can check out here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3091350. Currently, I'm working on a version that boasts a diameter of around 1.4 meters. I've opted for three blades instead of five to reduce the forces on one side, but I'm also considering adding a propeller on the opposite side using this motor. Once I decide which motor to use, I'll design the gears to achieve the desired rotation speed. These components still need to be sliced into smaller printable parts and reinforced with carbon or aluminum tubes for added strength in the blades. Any tips you have on choosing a motor would be greatly appreciated! My goal is to keep things simple while providing enough power to support basic lighting and charge a phone. Enjoy, follow, like, and share if you found this interesting!
