Blades And Hub For Wind Turbine
Since building the blades for your wind generator involves cutting and sanding make sure to use proper safety gear such as glasses and ear plugs.
If you are planning on building a wind generator yourself from start to finish it is crucial that you invest in the right plans from the word go. Don't try to use free youtube plans since all you'll end up with is a lot of broken blades flying all over the place, spend the extra money on plans, you'll be glad you did.
Wind generator blades
The truth is the blades are actually quite easy to make and don't require much time to build.
It is best when first starting out that you build your blades using PVC, later when you get the hang of it you can always build a nice set of balanced hardwood blades, but don't even worry about that now, since you will be able to produce plenty of power with the less expensive and easier to build PVC blades.
It is important to note that the blades should be balanced and smooth. You will find all the info you need to balance and smooth them by following a good set of wind turbine plans.
If you don't feel comfotable making your own wind generator blades don't worry to much since you can find plenty of premade blades online, some even include a hub. This will increase the price to build but can save you time in the build.
Wind turbine hub
Just as with the blades you can make it yourself in very little time, but we found it easier to just find a hub that was already milled and ready to go. We decided to stay away from making the hub out of wood since, it would need to be replace after a couple years in the elements.
Side note: If your motor shaft is the wrong diameter for your hub, don't worry you can use a hub arbor to adjust for the difference.
