a drawring

so here's a little drawring of what the thing looks like... as you can see it doesn't really look like much of a turbine... let me explain a couple things...


so, as you can see on the overhead view on the right, there is a central blade that spins on its vertical axis, in the circle described by diagram. this is the only moving blade in the entire thing. the other three blads are fixed and are positioned so that if a lines continued from both ends of each fixed blade, one end would meet the proximal point of the triangle, and the other would cross the lines extending from the other two fixed blades at the exact center of the triangle, which also happens to be the point of axial rotation of the moving blade. (wow that sorta sounds like i know what i'm talking about haha)


so looks pretty simple eh?? i'm thinking of making this structure from sheet aluminum reinforced by some angled metal bars... still thinking about it. need to head to hardware store to see what i can get around here... also going to need parts for the inner workings... an alternator and such... working on it...
