I have been working hard to finish the mechanical design of this new variant of Portable Wind Turbine. As you can see in the image some changes have been made. It is now a Down-Wind Wind Turbine. A new blade grip system has been designed that allows you to manually change the angle of attack of the blade and experiment without having to glue it down. Although folded it is of similar dimensions to prototype 1, its power is much higher. Blades are almost twice as long.

As I have designed the pieces I try to print them and physically test them with the rest of the assembly, if everything goes well I continue the other parts of the design. Printing them is taking me a long time since I have printed them at 100 percent infill except for the Blades
I am impatient to test this new model.
Cheers!
