Please note: This is a proof of concept and not a finished design.

WinDIY - 3d printable wind turbine

WinDIY is a wind turbine made of mostly 3D printed parts.

Features

• Wind turbine build from 3D printed parts
• HAWT design
• Rotor diameters from 0.5 to 1.2m possible
• 3D printed wings
• Uses a 3D printed disk generator for energy generation
• Safety functions through active pitch adjustment of the wings, mechanical brake and electronic brake function via the disk generator
• Can be printed using any "normal" (20x20cm bed size) FDM Printer
