That's right, your favorite modular, stackable, free, open-source vertical-axis wind turbine just got better. Now with over 40(!!) parts, Build-a-VAWT is the most customizable wind turbine you can find. Also, now that this version finally has motor mounts, it is technically a wind turbine -- it is no longer a glorified wind spinner.
If you're new to Build-a-VAWT, check out my first video on the topic, it has a little more beginner-friendly info.
