Wind Turbine

This turbine is a great project for the classroom and helps to teach kids about the concepts of wind power generation and is part of the Learning in a Makerspace chapter of my new book "[The Makerspace Workbench](http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920028147.do)" from Maker Media!. Use 1/8" x 1/4" balsa strips for the tower, 1/8" dowel for the blade support and 1/8"" balsa sheet for the blades. The hub is designed to support 3 or 4 blade configurations and allows for the blade's angle of attack to be adjusted.
