I will be building a windturbine I need your help!

Well pardon me if any of you take any offense as you will note I am in no way a nazi or skin head or racial hating individual...

But here is the my other idea which I may settle for thinking on design ...

Think of a swastika with hinges more or less now imagine if when the wind blew half or more then half of one of the blades opened up...

This is possible below will be a picture of an overhead view showing what I believe will be a great vertical axis turbine design!

I would like your opinions on this design I think it will maximize energy production by reducing drag!

I am shocked at the lack of interest in power generation via wind and solar power!

They are working technology that can be replicated ...

It is not coils wound on a tinfoil hat I suppose so it does not make for good chat maybe?

I don't get it its like folks do not even want free energy they just want to talk and listen to a lot of far fetched tech...

I am sure there is other stuff out there yes I agree and you should give things a chance but in the mean time why not pitch in in these areas and build some stuff that works for free power to hold you over for the next big thing.

the hinge design is slightly flawed - it's still workable though, what you need are hydraulic brakes to keep the flap from slamming backwards and taring off the rotor, they might as well be spring drawn too, bringing them forward later in the cycle.

slaps some mags on the brakes and you could make a secondary generator - a third if your count each as a generator, it would me ac, ofcourse, you could even use the load-through-coil as the brake.

Hi Infringer,

Here is a design that uses hinges:

That should work well.

Take care,

Hi Infringer, I like your idea of the hinges design, but I think you lose too much power as the wind has to first open the panel then spin it.  I just saw this idea from greenpowerscience.com.  They have the idea to use two vert wind turbines, one on top of the other.  You have one spin one direction and the other spins the opposite direction.  Between the two, you have the "generator" part.  The magnets are on one and the stator part is on the other.  By spinning in opposite directions, you speed up the generator parts allowing you to generate more power.  I thought that was a great idea

Just had another idea, you can have multiple rows of magnets, stators and can multiply the power output.  Also, they are showing the use of neo magmets to support the turbines and they double as the bearings to reduce the friction from spinning.
