Just got your plans for the 100W wind turbine. Can you please tell me what angle the blades are bent at the cut marked on the drawing.

Cheers

Andy

Hi Andy.
I set mine at 45 degrees as I live inland and need the extra torque. I have low wind in my urban location.

In windy locations try 30 degrees for better speed and slightly less torque.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Kurt. I'm in an urban location so will try the same angle as you have used.
