Thanks to vladua for the great wind turbine. I enlarged the wind wheel to a diameter of 170 mm and a height of 196 mm and adapted it to my proven bearing for an 8 mm metal rod. The wind turbine parts can be put together without reworking,…
This Helix Wind model has been modeled to be printable and mountable for display and experimentation. The model has been equipped with a 8.3mm mounting hole to smoothly accept a wooden 5/16 inch dowel. This model was developed to test…
Detailed Description Video day Video evening This wind powered lighthouse uses a Savonius turbine to rotate the complete upper lighthouse structure using only airflow. Inside, a standard LED tea light remains stationary while the…
Thanks to astfaellergerald for the Vertical Windturbine Ver. 2. I like version 2 (NEW P1-5) by astfaellergerald very much, but cleaning and gluing all the parts takes some work. I've been contemplating putting the top and bottom halves…
Based on different scientific papers I created this Savonius two blade shape wind turbine design. It is specifically designed to work well with low wind speeds coming from one direction. The turbine needs a obstacle wall in front of the…
Print Settings As it is for outdoor used i reccomend using PETG. I used a .4mm nozzle and did 3 walls for a 1.2mm wall thickness. I used a 10% infill on all parts. the only part that needs support is the Blades , not for the blades…
A Savonius-type wind turbine you can connect to a Lego axle. It comes in 2- to 6-bladed variants. The blades are semicircles with inner and outer diameters 40 and 43 mm respectively. The middle is a circle with a diameter of 9 mm. The…
Simple Savonius wind-mill. Ii requires 2 bearings on top/bottom of support. Can be printed with small supports, 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2 layer height.
Additional parts needed: 2x miniature ball bearing 8mm x 22mm x 7mm (eg. https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07HGXXX37/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1&language=en_GB¤cy=EUR ) 4x screw M6x10 4x screw M6x16 8x nut M6…
You should print one section at a time and lower the speed as the height increases in order to get a nice print. The best option for mounting this turbine is to secure the axle it will be placed on both from the top and the bottom. The…
A wind turbine with a vertical axis of rotation. It's best to print the model with supports, but it can also be printed without them. One of the faster models, wall 1, 5% infill. To be mounted on a rod without bearings.
This is a remix of Hooptey's VAWT which can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:85168 LowerMotorMount07 makes it easier to use various size motors and it has a pass-through for wiring. MagneticBase08 holds three small…
This is a WIP Savonius modular VAWT concept. It uses an N20 reductor motor as its generator ( example ). And a nail as part of its top shaft. Other than that and whatever youre mounting it with it is fully 3d printed. I recommend using…

Not the most efficient vawt but it is fully 3d printed and it works with 3d printed bearings. Use 16mm PVC tubes or with any other diameter pipe (see openscad file for full hack). OpenSCAD files available. I'm using the parametric printed…
