I found this nice anodised "Connect-It" aluminium at Bunnings and got to thinking that with some Corflute/Correx fluted plastic you could make some nice wings. I gave it a try.

A vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT)
I've wanted to build one for ages.
I found this nice anodised "Connect-It" aluminium at Bunnings and got to thinking that with some Corflute/Correx fluted plastic you could make some nice wings. I gave it a try.
The reality with these lift kinds of VAWTS are that they are hard to tune precisely if you use flexible material like Corflute. I think I will move to making a simple Horizontal Axis turbine instead. It's a more conventional shape.
