Remember that I made the toy S-VAWT which does spin. The problem with the current 'big box' is not enough surface, too thick a shape, and a bit too much cogging, IMHO...

This is what prototypes are for of course. B^>

If you have a link to plans/pics of the 'quick' design that you have in mind, it may inspire me.

And since I've now got everything set up, all I have to make to test new things is the rotor...

Thanks again for the thoughts!

Not plans exactly but here's a post about it with pics...in my diary if it has 'quick' in the title, that's it. I can go into more detail if you'd like and get a pic of all the pieces before they go together...etc.

You've seen that post before but if you open up the second image in a new window you can see the bracket assembly more clearly...that might help.
