Some U.S person is selling what looks like just steel channeling as wind turbine blades...

He has sold a few, with reasonable feedback, so I may be missing something somewhere.

I agree Matt,

I can't discern a leading edge, but that is based on the picture.

They kind of really just look like sheet metal formed on a break to me.

If a pvc blade hit someone in a storm would they suffer less?

I really doubt these are blades meant for a wind turbine. There doesn't seem to be any leading edge. They look like something that could work for a vertical rig, but are nothing I'd imagine would be successful on a horizontal rig.

Go Huskers!

They sure don't look for real to me!
I'm with Keith. I wouldn't want to be near them in a storm.

Feedback. It needs left before most people get them flying.
Plus if a buyer says "Junk Blades", the buyers feedback would probably suffer.

I seen these also I was surprised that they were selling. I guess if you label anything as "wind turbine blades" they will buy them. I have some plastic gutters laying around think i will cut them down and put them up on fleabay.
