Savonius Wind Turbine - 1kW
This page contains the plans for building a wind power generator in the form of a Savonius Rotor Windmill. Although this DIY project uses the same technology as my Pringles Wind Turbine, it is little more difficult to build. No welding or casting is required, however welding is recommended for one part.
This machine is able to produce 1000 Watts of power in an average wind speed of 20MPH. Depending on the builder, your results may vary.
This document is intended to share the process I used for building a wind power generating windmill. Specifically, a Savonius rotor. Enjoy.
Nice turbine. A Savonius wind turbine is probably the most easiest to build. This is a simple design. But there are inefficiencies involved with this type. I like the looks of it as well. For me this looks better than traditional Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWT). More info can be found on http://www.energybeta.com/windpower/windmill/savonius-wind-turbine/

Good. Any house needs good home ventilation as this is one of the major drivers of us remaining healthy.
