Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Design

Well, I have just about completed my very first wind turbine. It is a small VAWT based on the Darrius H rotor design.

I have combined some ideas together to come up with a unique wing design. It is a combination of Ed's Lenz with a custom GOE 435 profile and of course.. H rotor style.

You can find more information and view the video of it turning by visiting my website at: http://www.nlre.net/vawtcustom.htm

It spins up very nicely as you can see in the video. It is going 240 rpm! Not too bad at all.

Feel free to ask your questions and post comments here. I welcome your advice, comments, and knowledge.
