Project Overview
This is a wind turbine prototype that aims to combine proven research-based features with twists of innovation. The project used PVC blades that are airfoiled and spaced at 10 degree pitch The hub is custom-made using aluminum material. The base used PVC pipes and structured to attain optimum stability. The gearbox used a 32 to 1 compound gear ratio. Below is a video link:
