design of a savonius generator

[jameskolawole]

i'm an mechanical engineering undergraduate student in nigeria. i want to design and construct a savonius generator. i'm currently having problems getting design calculations for the blade.

please if you have information relating to the subject, contact me.

James,

   I really think you need to be just a little more specific.  Are you looking for a blade design? or alternator design?  Or calculations of what the blade might produce in a given wind?

sandia also has some papers in regards to two and three bucket design (.pdf), but I couldn't find the link. I have a .pdf copy. drop me an email mswayze  at truswood.com.

You might have a good starting point

with the 'picoturbine' 250 W plan.

Please have a look at

'PicoTurbine 250 Blade Design Plan':

I can supply to you some other savonius

plans by email, if you'll drop me a mail.
