Ghurd-
Yeah, it is difficult to see the perspectives clearly with photos.  You are right, the one you showed shows the angles better for a perpective. I just thought I would say that by making them even thinner (less wide) it did clearly get more speed which is what he needs a lot of.

I could not see his photo of his mill anywhere.  How are all of you seeing his photo??

I even went to his 'files' to try to find it, but no photo!
No one ever said if his blades are pvc or wood?? I suppose pvc.

I also hope he don't get discouraged. I remember the frustration of only reaching 10 volts (so close, yet SOO far away!) in a fairly big wind with motors similar to that one.  
Maybe Flux's high speed blade design can get over that cogging well enough and  make the extra speed needed.  Worth a try.
