wind turbine blade
« on: February 23, 2009, 09:04:48 PM »
Hello,

Can anyone suggest where I might buy a set of slow speed blades

(<250rpm) for a permanent magnet generator wind turbine, 6' - 10' (1.8

- 3m) long approx. I cannot find anything longer than 4feet on ebay.

I want to put together a wind turbine of 2-5kW and am trying to source

the parts. I find some think here http://www.partenovcfd.com but not know

how they are

TiA,

Shukry

The largest I found was an 8.5' rotor made of aluminum.  the fiberglass blades I found on Ebay were useless.  You will need to either make your own or have someone make a set for you.

I hear DanB will make blades of any length to order.


And I have a feeling shipping blades to Shukry is not a great idea, because it involves crossing an ocean?
