Thanks Luv2weld----You are right, that pipe foam insulation stuff would work even better. Also, I meant to say this before--I'll just say it here-- but when I said using "nylon nuts" in my main comments I meant nylon CORED nuts. They are still steel nuts. I just didn't want a beginner using all plastic nuts to hold up a dangerous wind mill! -Thanks

Sorry, I replied to Part 1 by accident, might need deleting.

Nice work CmeBREW
The anti-cogging idea is pretty innovative. I might try something similar on my dynohub, which cogs really badly, but generates 12v at only 60 rpm.

Also, what Scale/measurements did you use for your blades, are they a scaled down DanB design or your own?

Thanks and good luck.
