Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Project Aeolus V2.1

This is the first version of my vertical axis wind turbine. (V.A.W.T.) 

This first version is completely inspired and modified by the Aeolus project. 

In the future I will publish other changes after carrying out the first tests of operation in wind.

The project requires many hours of printing, during printing I always used supports.

I will add more photos with support as soon as possible.

Try printing this and let me know if you have any suggestions for improving the project ! 

PROJECT UPDATES 

[ 17/09/2024 ] 

Added the printable central support adapter for threaded rod M8 and metal tube.

[ 18/09/2024 ] 

Added top rain cap for bearings.

This is the first version of my vertical axis wind turbine. (V.A.W.T.) 

I started by modifying the VAWT Aeolus V2 project.

The existing project was very beautiful but with considerable printing and assembly difficulties for me.

1. I modified the center to support the 608zz bearings.
2. I modified the arms to make assembly easier.
3. I modified the blades to fit them together.
4. I have inserted the photos for an assembly order.
5. [ 17/09/2024 ] Added the printable central support adapter for threaded rod M8 and metal tube.
6. [ 18/09/2024 ] Added top rain cap for bearings.

Printed with PLA + 

Infill 10% 

For the central turbine support  I used a threaded rod M8 x 1000mm

inserted on a metal tube with a diameter of 19.5 mm.
