There is also more surface area for the wind to push against, increasing the force transferred to rotation.

So I see. I didn’t know there was another video in the series. Great work!

3 blades have less yaw or rocking and are said to be more balanced. look at the wiki page for turbines

Another reason to not glue the the two blades together is the expansion and contraction of the wood. Excellent videos!!

Hey there, Dan -
Love the videos. You’ve got some cool stuff going on there. I was wondering why, since you’ve got a table saw, why didn’t you half – lap these two blades? Once you had them squared up, youi could have marked them and cut 1/2 way through the thickness of each board and assembled them that way…just a recommendation. Love the idea -
Keep up the good work, and be safe!

Thanks for showing this. I’ve always wondered how to make the blades. Is there any advantage to having the blades come to a point?

I heard that the Netherlands have these things called windmills; oh yeah for like more than five hundred years now…

hey Dan,
Love your videos and am happy to see that your not catching anything on fire! LOL
Was wondering if you are going to show us how to actually “hook it up” so we can get electric?
I’ve spent the last hour or so looking at HAWT & VAWT no one is telling me how to actually use it.
Have a great day and again thanks for your videos!!!

This is all good stuff to know

That is in the next video part, It is the advanced hub design. This was just for rookies:-) Actually I used a table saw.
Thank you for the comment.

I would cut a 1/4in notch out of each blade (maybe with a router and chisel) where it can lock on to the other like Lincoln logs. That set would be just fine though, deck screws can work miracles.

You make it look easy. Is the DO it Yourself Turbine Link Your Video too?
