Hi,

I am designing vertical axis wind turbine for generator with 3kW power. Prior to make big blade I have designed small 3D printable version to test. I want to concentrate the force of wind into one point by making specific blade .It would make the blade rotate even after wind passes. That point which is connection section of blade to the rotor of generator and it is made heavier. I do not know from mechanical point of view if my concept works in a way that I want. Please see the modeled blade and give feedback.

Thank you,
Akmalidin Alimov

Thank you very much!
Do you do blade designs as well? I am looking for a freelancer.

Haha I would argue I am greatly under qualified for such job :DD Blade design is quite a tedious and lengthy process to get right so expect to pay a hefty penny. I had a chance to glance through THIS book at my teachers office and it seemed really rich and well written. It might be of some better assistance.
