foamboard on a VAWT (3.00 / 0) (#3) by Norm (peppysue@suite224.net) on Tue May 22nd, 2007 at 12:34:55 PM MST (User Info)

Well you can use foamboard on a small vawt like I'm doing....just slightly larger than lawn ornament.....44 inch diameeter. I put masking tape on edges then paint with poly urethane then regular paint for color. Just temporarily taped onto bikewheel (trying to see how it worked before the wind died down ....Nah ! too late wind stopped)   Made out of foamboard...Maybe neighbors knowing blades are made of foamboard will feel that it's not a hazardous machine.              ( :>) Norm.
