About this model

This is another remix, and an ohmage, to an RMS wind turbine project. Robert actually started with a remix of an earlier project and I am continuing that trend. NOTE: This project is BEING REVISED! After researching Ugrinsky geometry in various wind conditions, I am making three versions of the Blade base, blade segment and blade cap components. One version, with a narrower central corridor, will be for prevailing winds in the 1-5mps range. The second will be for winds in the 6-10mps range and the 3rd will be for locations with prevailing winds > 10mps. 2026-09-06 First revision complete. Current geometry supports light wind conditions (1-5mps, 2-10 mph). I am building the unit and winding the coil. Once that is done, I will publish the generator assembly and post initial power outputs. Wh…
