Wind-Do team at work.

Last week, the Wind-Do team  proceeded with a  trial of our new improved test turbine. A sunny day with less wind than expected, but enough to generate useful results.

One of the characteristics of our design is the use of small parts that can be produced by hundreds of suppliers. Here you have a close-up view of our prototype blade.

The real blade will be about 50 cm (24 inches) long, compared with this prototype which is 25 cm. This size allows the mass production of plastic blades, thus our blade cost will be much less per kilowatt produced compared to the kilowatt cost of blades for giant wind turbines. As demonstrated, installation and maintenance will require no specialized tools or skills, which will allow the participation and ownership by local groups and individuals.

More data on these tests will follow.
