3D-Printable Vertical Wind Turbine

multi stage vertical wind turbine

With the arrive of the 3d printers all projects that required hardware and a lot of DIY to take shape has changed. And in the energy generation field, if someone has a 3d printer and a prototype 3d designed it can be brought to life and it is even possible to build an array of devices to be energy independent!!!

My project is about this

Hi Oscar

Those wind turbines look too small to get any substantial amount of power from them. Reliability would also be an issue.

However, 3D printed blades is an interesting idea if one has access to a very large 3D printer. The plastic would have to be UV resistant. Wind turbine blades are subjected to an appreciable amount of stress and I'm not sure 3d printed plastic could resist it.
