my little lift wing vawt
« on: November 27, 2010, 01:06:18 AM »
i developed these wings after I got hooked on trying to get the most I could out of the wind then decided to really give my patience a trial. This is a test vawt I used to try a number of different profiles on

Greetings, very nice. What is the maximum current or power that size blade will be able to generate.

i havn't done any power tests, they just run loaded all the time hooked up to 30 3v leds hooked up in series then parrelled with a cap to make a six v load. just letting them run as much as they can to see what they'll do. i change the mount angle and shape a little at a time and see how it affects the rpm/loaded
