my degree is industrial design
but i now make my living painting
the country homes of wealthy people.
finding paint buckets is
not a problem for me!
you could contact
a painting contractor.

That sounds good.
I've been myself as well
looking for such a design,
which could be built
in a factory besides
being a good design
for handicrafts people.

One of my good friends
here, Erkki Nousiainen
has built maybe
the biggest Savonius of
the world using old
paint buckets.
But he opened them and used
the metal plates by bending
them into new shapes.

Please see an old picture
of his Savonius below.
It is about 15 m tall...



I'm becoming quite exited
with this project. I started
to think about 'a gorlov design'
already more than half year ago,
but I've been now outside
my country for a while
and did not have time
and possibilities
for that project.  

I think that some kind of Gorlov
turbine might be the best design
for urban areas.
I will start making a prototype
myself also soon.

I made still a couple of
more design drawings.






I think that using the waste
material from the bucket as
the last picture even
without 'the savonius
vanes' inside will
probably work.

We just need right dimensions
and airfoil shapes.

I tried to see your video,
but unfortunately that
video format doesn't work in
my machine (I'm using
debian gnu/linux). Maybe
you could convert it into
another format?

very good work hannu , here's a thought, if at the proto type stage the internal savonas was built in a sub section that could be placed in multiple positions (rotatable and locked) allowing experimentation as to the optimun relationship between it and the out side wings . i think the air coming off the convex side of the savonas could be put to use to trigger or enhanse lift in the gorlov or darius rotors.. perhaps, this relationship has alreadey been documented.

hannu i have no knowlege on how to convert the video to an other format.
you have drawn the gorlov/darious wings to be 1/6 of the surface do you consider this to be optimum.
