Making small GRP Wind turbine blades

[Jonathan]

Here's the video of the blades working:

As you can see I've not painted them yet. I intend to do so the next time I put the wind turbine up.

I just need to find somewhere to put my 3m diameter variable pitch wind turbine next...not got enough space at home.

Great job Jonathan. Are you going to attach to it some kind of generator? What power output do you expect ??

Thanks... It's already attached to a permanent magnet generator I made. I made the generator about 5 years ago, so I must admit it's not the best of designs! It does produce some power though - peak was 40W into a 12v lead acid battery in that video.
