DIY wind power - VAWT 03 Construction and Demise




Visit Calebengineering.com A brief video outlining the construction of a Darrius lift type wind turbine, testing of a single phase generator, and its performance in the wind. One turbine wing fractured during testing so this turbine will be retired. The fracture was probably due to a number of factors some of which include: cheap foam, not glassing all the way to the attachment point, unbalanced rotor, and resonant frequencies with the tower.
