Hi I'm trying to create a 3 foot 6 blade prop for pence, or cents? (my 3rd world idea) Any ideas how to 'nest', tesselate 3 props together would be appreciated. Please see my web page for full description. http://gotwind.org/Soil_Prop.htm This could be of considerable use to 3rd world countries. www.gotwind.org |

I think you would need to make some sort of hub. A timber disk about 200mm in diameter, with each blade bolted to the hub with three 1/4 bolts. Nesting the PVC pipe could be done but you would end up with a weak hub, remembering the blade roots cop the most strain. Glenn The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |
