The yaw bearing will be in the bottom of the nacelle. But even then maybe moisture can get in.
So like you say I would better drill a few small drain holes.

Rain doesn't always fall straight down... at time is goes by sideways... same for snow and ice... It WILL force its way into places you don't want it. Why all the ham stuff has weep holes. Tiny, to small for bugs to get in, but multiple holes in case one plugs.

How do they keep the moisture out at the large turbines?

The weep holes in the pic looks similar to a Tesla valve.

They are referred to as slinger seals
https://www.mcmaster.com/slingers/
Bear in mind that while a slinger can prevent moisture from entering the joint, it's not always perfect, and moisture may get in other ways.
So the weep holes are still needed.

Another study for a lightweight improved main bearing.
Angle contact bearing 2 raceways each with 67 balls 4 mm
I want to mount this one on the yaw bearing and make a new suspension for the stator.

If those countersunk screw heads give me a rough sense of scale, and the part is about 10 times the diameter of the screw head, then the part is about 3.5" (85mm) diameter.

It is about to make the components fit together.
Outer diameter of the main bearing here is 99 mm. The inner diameter must be large enough to enable a robust blade ajustment mechanism.

Are those bearings for the rotor shaft (I assume this is what you meant), or for the yaw mechanism?
I'm curious if you do detailed drawings of the components you fabricate, or just work and rework directly in the materials? Very nice, either way.

It is a study with standard bearings to make a suitable main shaft.
Light weight and heavily over dimensioned so it will almost not wear and can last a very long time.

The main bearing based on 2 conjoined standard bearings 95 x 60 mm
It runs smoothly and has a grease nipple for relubrication if necessary.

Shaping the housing. Within this I want to mount the drive for the blade ajustment and that of the yaw bearing.

So... what material are you using? I can't see any fasteners.
It looks like one of those materials made from calcium salts, petroleum jelly and aliphatic acids...

Later on I want to make the housing in polyester.
That is why I first made a mold from cardboard.

mould making is something i studied. i recommend you use some premixed drywall compound and a foam sanding block to give the mould a nice flat surface. then coat it with some enamel. this will be a one off piece so it doesn't matter if the mould is destroyed during the separation process.

These are the components covered by the housing.
The connection must fit neatly to the laminationcore.
But if moisture does get in, it can be drained off in the gutter.

The suspension of the blades I would like to keep as light as possible. Therefore I want to shape a tubular basic ring.
6 pads on the circumference are intended for mounting the generator rotor.

The blade suspension still needs to be reinforced. I want to do so after mounting the blade pitching mechanism so that I can work "around" that.

For the suspension of the blades I made shafts and hubs.
I can then continue with the blade adjustment mechanism.
Later on the hubs will be enclosed in the polyester blade roots.

The blade pitch movement mechanism is about the same as what I showed earlier in this thread.
On page 7 Reply # 179 March 2019
But for the drive I would like to make a suitable direct drive motor.

Does the blade suspension get connected in some fashion on the side farthest from the tower? (Is that upwind?) I'm having trouble picturing how the rotor forces get transferred at the hub.

The aim is to make the blade suspension ridgid and light.
The blade supported in 2 places on a pivot.
I think it is also possible with a wooden blade, and I would now like to apply that too.

Several components have yet to be made. I now have a wooden blade with the blade hub incorporated in the root.

My impression is that there is not so much interest on the forum in developing and improving active pitch control.
And I am a little concerned about that because it is incredibly important that the turbine is automaticly under control in all conditions.

Furling is simpler to do with basic tools... I do not have the skills to shape metal like you!
