Well I think 210 RPM is whipping for this rotor. I really want to load it to slow it down. I think one of the reasons it starts to vibrate at that speed is the way I bent the barrel's trailing edges down into a more aerodynamic shape.I didn't have a torch so I bent them this way.
First I poured a 22 OZ homebrew. I then stepped lightly onto the barrel halve and using the beer as a counterweight for balance I pushed my weight onto the barrel bending the edges that I had cut. After bending 2 barrels halves I would then drink the beer.
Even though they are all welded at the same spot I think there is a slight difference in the shape. Below is a picture of the not fully carbonated cousin of the same homebrew I was using last fall.
