Following on from my previous Makevember posts… This is another virtual post, I built the Wind Turbine Hub as designed by Daniel Davis, one of the changes I would like to make, is the methord of making the blades. It looks like Daniel has a background in Mechanical Engineering, and […]

Following on from my Makevember post yesterday, where I tried to make turbine blades, and Failed… I fed 6050 from SG6050 into Fusion 360 and this is what it gave me: SG6050 profile To check it wasnt it that was broken, I ran the script with the defult value of […]
After my previous attempts at cadding up air foils, that can be found here and here for #Makevember, I came across QBlade; According to Wikipedia: QBlade is an open source wind turbine calculation software, distributed under the GNU General Public License. The software is seamlessly integrated into XFOIL, an airfoil […]
I have been back in Fusion 360 designing parts for my wind turbine: These are parts of the hub, they are the bearings 3D printed to be the size of F 6902-2RS (15x28x7 mm) bearings that are commercially available, the printer settings have been edited slightly, so I still have […]
As in my Q-Blade Post 1. I made reference to both HAWT (Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine) and VAWT (Vertical Axis Wind Turbines), A standard VAWT design has been covered by the Ultimaker Blog: There are several other designs that are more novel. One of these novel approaches is the O-Wind, […]
I have started designing assembles in Fusion 360 using T-Slot, a lot of head scratching on how to make use of it at arbitrary lengths in my designs… I started by making a 20mm length of T-Slot as its own model in Fusion 360; This is model has all of […]
