Verticle Axis Wind Generator Turbine
My first attempt at a Wind Turbine Generator. Haven’t figured out how I am going to mount it vertically so for now testing it horizontally. Still need to add the 12″ pulley and generator which I have and will attach later. Had some good wind the past few days and this got up to this speed from a dead stop so I think it may be pretty good once mounted vertical.

Nice job it looks like it should work great.take care
I did get the basic idea from Greenpower. To mount the blades, all I did was cut 3 blades from 1 4″ x 24″ section of PVC. Then put a small drill hole in the top and bottom of each blade, screwing it to each end through the plywood – this makes it easy to adjust the blades to the proper angle. If after I get the right angle, I can then secure the blades w/epoxy or another small screw. Not sure where the generator will mount yet…
did you get the idea from green power science?
I like it so far,
how did you get the pvc parts to stay in position?
i noticed some of the realy expensive units have the generators on top.
i wondered how i might build one with gen on bottom but maybe the top is the best solution,
