Beautiful,
Looks a little like the big vertical sail (40') I saw on the easr coast. Lost the link but that guy used a cloth sail to power a friction heating unit along with power generation. A big cloth pin wheel.

I tried looking again w/o success. The windmill was built by the same people that run/ran Cansolar in Nova Scotia. They had a truck rear end atop a stirdy tower. The drive shaft came down to the ground and had a block of maple spinnig on a glass skinned water jacket. They claimed that this worked as a speed check because higher rpm's caused increased pressure between wood and glass. As well they had several pto's coming off the shaft that spun a geared up induction motor and an air compressor. It was quite a sight...sadly I lost pics after smithfraud virus got into my system last year.

I made them big so that they can be printed (it's supposed to be printable A4 with 300dpi accuracy... I wonder if that was lost in the .tif to .jpg transformation... ), enlarged, and the blade layer curves can be formed directly on actual life sized blueprint (well, "blueprint-oid" anyways).

For viewing this sort of stuff, I use AC/DC, shareware software with good n' easy zoom in/out tool. (It usually can show any obsucure format and save them in more common formats.

Well... damn.

Should I post much smaller version then ? (enlargement won't be as feasible then, but idea should be clear).
