The pic of your blades look like they were made out of 4inch pvc...
Thats my problem now.....4inch or 6 inch? It's the angle part I am confused on.. I am VERY grateful for your help, but you are not really answering my questions... 4 inch cut into four 90 degree pieces...or .....
4inch cut into two 150 degree and a 60 degree leftover??

Maybe you are not understanding how I made the first set.............http://www.thekevdog.com/projects/wind_generator/ This is the part I need to know!!

Thank You SO Much..

Yeah, it is 6" pipe. I like 6" better since the arch is bigger which means less blade hangs over with the width up near the root. But some use 4".

Sorry, my Geometry is not so good. That link goes to his front page but it keeps going blank for me?? I just do it the simple "Caveman" way. Maybe someone else will understand the angles and comment.

If all else fails, it would make a nice Ped generator I'm sure for excersise and 30-40 Watthours. (Thats what I am making right now)
