"How-to" under construction, but if you think a bit by yourself, there's no need for it. Read more down here.
This is a prototype of a vertical wind-turbine for a 5 Volts output.
IT WORKS VERY WELL, but I am looking for testers and feedback.
I opened the forum section a few weeks ago and would love to see real users, not .ru hackers or bots (which is the case right now, deleting them while some real makers come in). So if you are a real maker COME ON.
You can 3D-print it bigger or smaller... stack more than 2 "voiles rotatives" if you like...
Contact me if you want to sponsor this project (so I could work on it a lot faster, fulltime).
I'v been working on a "Medium" size HeavyMeta Pan-Tilt (~20cm diameter), coding the firmware and Linux "remote control" enabling to pilot it with a joystick (using the GrippyBot existing firmware and remote control).
You can already "play" with the Voile Rotative v0.02 and scale it smaller or bigger !

corrupted file voile_rotative_eolienne_alpha_001.blend
The file : https://www.3dlibre.com/sites/default/files/2024-09/voile_rotative_eolienne_alpha_001.blend
is corrupted because of a identified bug.
Another case : https://www.reddit.com/r/blenderhelp/comments/1bsjkho/blender_crashes_when_i_try_and_load_a_file_ive/
Exact reason is because of a side-effect with the saving process of curves. (read during my search on this problem).
It is fixed by now with the new version since already one year...
The version of Blender I am using right now is 3.4.1 .
Will post the new file (with gears, the motor support and electronics box) ASAP.
My goal is to recharge through USB (5V ~500mA) power-banks, phones, etc.
TTYL ! <3 !
Will spend some time now on the Voile Rotative project.
Sorry to be so slow since December !
