Homemade residential Wind Turbine Generator 10.5′ Homebuilt Homebrew carved Cedar Epoxy blades

Posted on March 11, 2010 by admin

This is the first time I tested my new blades for my wind turbine. They are 5′ 1″ long on a 14″ diameter hub. The rotor is 10.5′ in diameter; the blades are a cedar-epoxy composite; the hub is marine plywood/epoxy. The tower is 36′ high. The blades start spinning from 0 rpm to somewhere near 500 rpm. Although they appear in the video to slow down due to the frame rate, they become invisible to the naked eye. You can read the whole project at http://www.mindchallenger.com/wind
