Hi Wouter

 

Russel is highly knowledgeable with regard to VAWT. I am pretty sure he will be able to assist and he will get back to your post asap.

Hi Wouter

 

May I ask what your interest in a VAWT is? I have built both vertical and horizontal, but vertical has been proved to be much less effective. They are OK as toys or as a reminder that lots of free energy is slipping us by every day. If you would like some photo's just let me know.

If you are at all serious about making some electricity, build a horizontal and at least a 1 kw.

 

Have fun,

I had/have one. I was trying to get it to turn a permanent magnet generator, but the wind was too erratic and it was not effective. I took the generator off, but the turbine is still spinning after about 3 years. 

 

Looks like this :
