A small clip on vertical wind turbine i designed for my balcony.
Pulley ratio is 1:2 and it needs quite a bit of wind to spin up.
A small DC motor won't generate much power but it works fine as a decoration I guess.
Feel free to remix.
To assemble this you will also need:
- 6mm x 13mm x 5mm bearings
- 3mm x 175mm shaft
- 8mm x 180mm shaft
- A rubber band
- Superglue
- Toothpicks
Use the smaller 3mm shaft to reinforce the turbines center axis, leave about 5mm sticking out on the bottom side so you can glue in the big pulley.
Use the toothpicks(or screws) to attach the base to the clip.
