But the Prototype new vawt rotor(Vertigo-Jr.) is NOT what bent the shaft on the treadmill motor!.

It bent from the PREVIOUS Big Vawt experimental rotor (41"diam. on YOutube) I had attached to it when that tornado went by a couple miles down the road and ripped the big heavy blades off. Thats the one I am disassembling the big rotor now because its impractical. So that makes the  'Vertigo-Jr.' rotor alittle lopsided at the top. But since the Pvc blades bend so nice, when a big wind spins it fast it straightens up perfectly! Understand???
