A car with an 8′ fan, that is a concept.
One sometimes wonders what inspires people to post somethings so completely without thought.
Great work GreenPower. Enjoyed it allot. Had my doubts back at beginning of part 1. A man after my own heart, avoids handtools at all cost!

You guys have shown some interesting and creative approaches to making wind devices. (used air conditioning fans, homemade vawt, etc) I was wondering if you could tell us how well they work. How much power in what speed wind do you see?

Hey Dan, I watch all the time, and I admire your attitude. I gotta tell ya buddy, I think you need a table router. They’re not too much, and you’d get some easier and safer results for relief cutting.

It makes it stronger. If you skip this step use 1/4″ steel bolts. Screws have a poor shear strength. Glue too.

This is only for cosmetic value right? it should not make any differerence in the way it functions.

yes but those of us who do have the tools to do this stuff with thank him for the ideas and direction that we sometime lack.

i dont no were u get ur ideas but it is increadible

Thats crazy, I’m sure you could find one out of an old car of something in a junk yard for a few bucks.. Anyhow not everyone has power tools to build a wind factory. just a suggestion

They are too small and cost about $300 for a 5′ fan blade. These are very strong and will hold up to 50+MPH if mounted correctly.

why dont you just buy a cheep industrial fan blade off the internet.
This looks very flimsy and too thin to catch any wind

Thanks for your hard work and spreading inspiration~

quite nice

The weather over there looks so nice

I was wondering why you didn’t do that the last video, much better.
A Dado blade helps a lot but most people don’t have one.
Great video series, Thanks for the great Ideas so much.

Go go gorilla snot (gorilla glue).

Great Video!!
A couple of recommendations that might help
You can use a quick clamp to hold the board to the guide to keep your hands free and clear from the blade when cutting.
If you mark the cuts so that they are 1 inch apart it would be easy to cut out the debris with a sharp 1 inch chisel or a good quality hack saw might do the trick as well.

At 9:05 you should have put an annotation saying “You are here!” (X marks the spot)

Would anyone recommend checking for balance after these cuts or would the difference be too small to justify?

great job!!! looks amazing, how well did it do when you put the whole set together?

great work !
Im planing to use solar and wind energie to power my farm, and help my neighbours in brasil !!
Live forever Apes !!
Great job !!

Electricity produced is a direct product of the energy input, specifically the amount of force on the blades. A shorter foil will have to have a greater cord to produce the same energy. A high aspect airfoil is more directionally stable than a low aspect foil. An unstable turbine would have a tendency to react to any little change in airflow.High aspect=more low speed lift. Low aspect foils create higher turbulence (read drag). there is a reason aircraft props don’t look like boat props.

well you wouldn’t need 8 feet for a wind turbine in the first place. the commercial ones for homes are about the size of a standard barn side fan blade
