In need of a windy day

Earlier in this blog you can see my CAD design for the wind turbines project (at least my interpretation of what it could be like). Anyway, I thought you guys might like to see what it looks like in reality. Hence the photos J


You might be interested to know that with an old CPU (486) fan blowing onto the turbine I can generate ONE WHOLE VOLT   .. overwhelmingly unimpressive eh!, so it's perhaps time to print an alternative/more efficient turbine or try to use a different motor as a generator..... ooo, errr, just realised, isn't that what the project is supposed to be about J
