Building a Wind Turbine VAWT (Step 6 of 46) Cutting the Turbine Wing Blades.MP4

Описание: IMPORTANT READ BELOW! - GET the CORRECT CASING MATERIAL! THIS IS JUST COMMON MOULDING FOR FINISHING BASEBOARDS YOU CAN FIND AT MOST HARDWARE STORES. IF YOU CAN'T FIND THE EXACT PART BELOW, THEN USE A SIMILAR SYNTHETIC CASING WITH AN AIRFOIL PROFILE LIKE IN THE VIDEO. . DO NOT USE WOOD MOULDING!

Note: in this video I give the wrong part number for the LP Products casing that you need to use. The correct LP products part number is 6106. The dimensions of the casing is 5/16" x 2-3/8". The casing I used in this video does work but not nearly as well, don't use it. The turbine performed MUCH BETTER with LP products casing # 6106 5/16" x 2-3/8.

If you cannot find the LP products casing material Royal Mouldings LT makes a similar product. However, I have not tested their product outdoors and don't know if they have casing 5/16" x 2-3/8. They might have something close enough. If you use that email me with your results so I can post for the video.

DO NOT USE WOOD CASING! You need the light weight synthetic casing for this project. The synthetic material is very similar to fiberglass in composition and weight. Otherwise you will need to build 16 custom wings from fiberglass to get the same results for your turbine. I learned the hard way the synthetic casing performs very good and holds up in the weather amazingly. Still I primed the material with some Kills Primer to protect it. Still holding up twos years on.

IF you cannot find this product at one of the big box home centers then look for the following. Synthetic casing material 5/16" x 2-3/8" or as close to that size as you can find. Do not use decorative casing that does not have a smooth wing like top surface.
