It might sound silly but I have a strange "design" problem with my VAWT.
It's a Lenz2 design and although it looks OK by itself, it seems not to integrate with the architectural surroundings.
It's placed on my house flat roof (10m from ground) and its wings are made of raw aluminum sheets.
I thought that silver (aluminum) would be quite neutral (like clouds) but in the end it is too shiny and the whole thing looks bizarre enough (like an UFO or something).
I wonder if I could change its appearance by using custom colors/patterns, horizontal/helical stripes or something similar.
Does anyone has any artistic backgrounds (okay.. just kidding!) to guide me for a reasonable VAWT outlook? My house has a pale white/brown (dark wood) combination but I also have the (blue) PV panels which seems to integrate much better.
I was thinking that horizontal stripes makes you look flat(!) so I have to use vertical or helical stripes (to look OK while spinning, too).
And nope, I'm not getting nuts.. I really like it (and it's useful too) but just don't match the existing status quo.
