Description
SummaryWind turbine type Savonius, 3 blades, could be assembled using hexagonal wood pencil. PC fan shown on picture is not supposed to be used as generator, barely as speed indicator due to small output voltage (few mV only depending on wind). Its function is to provide a cheap and available pivot for the windmill.

It doesn't work due to the fan being created to be energy efficient and go in one direction, this won't work well. But if you fix the gear teeth at the bottom and instead place a gear then connect it to a DC motor with High KV, i.e. (quadcopter motors), would work great as they take in high power and can handle high RPM and are built for a beating.
