Topic: 3d printable windturbine

Hello Forum,
after two years of development and testing the first fully functional 3d printable wind turbine was launched.
Goal in the development of the Reprap-Windturbine was to develop a wind turbine which can be produced and reproduced for the most part with a conventional 3D printer .... without lathe, milling machine or welding machine. The Reprap- Windturbine is not a toy or demonstration model, but a fully satisfying, robust machine for the permanent generation of electrical energy.
With a rotor diameter of 0.84m and a maximum power output of 55W it was designed to charge 12V batteries.
A very detailed step by step construction manual and all STL-files are available at:

That's totally cool - might be more reliable energy than a solar charger for some of the cooler/cloudier parts of the world, I'm thinking camping/4wding/boating applications... smile

do we consider our machines the tools? or have we become the tools of our machines?.
