Description

I have seen this type of turbine on a tv show about green power.
It is supposed to turn the same direction no mater from what way the wind comes.
and does somebody knows which license I need to use
I don`t really know the difference between them all

Thanks

I made a circle of radius 1 vertices 6 to make a hexagon and shape the core part from it
and the wing i made from a wing i downloaded from thingiverse extruded it and used the spin function and attached it together with boolean function the hole too is made with a boolean function

this is the wing i used forgot to add credits to this guy sorry

I was just wondering how you calculated the blades and the concept behind it. I will be ordering a Cupcake CNC next week, so in a month or so I should be able to print it and I will tell you how it goes. Send you one if you want? Or I could try to cut it on my CNC mill and make a big one.( have to work on the best way to cut and fabricate though?)

Thanks
Troy

I just saw the show as far as I know they don`t have a website and I don`t have a 3D printer so I can`t print it and i don`t know how those seams work because I can`t print I don`t even know if it wil spin if you put it in the wind sorry about that

Very Cool. Where did you find the information to design it? Just the show or a website.

Thanks

Yeah definitely print the wing vertically, I think a nice "wing unit" could be made which have one airfoil and a connector piece, print 3 or 6 of them and snap together for a complete windmill, (or propeller for that matter)

For more effective, print the profile and the snap together mounting end of the wing and cover the wing with a sheet of material.

Nice work. I wouldn't worry about license, the real patentable item is the airfoil shape of these blades. My thinking was to try and print a wing vertially so seams in the plastic are chord-wise.
