This is my first attempt at a wind turbine. It is a lawn ornament at the moment (no power generation). I will follow this up with a video on construction details and power generation.

Notable is that this cost less than $100 in materials so far and that the largest part of this turbine is recycled materials (the PVC drums previously held Balsamic Vinegar from Italy).

Also, this was turning pretty well in a very light wind.

Axle: 3 inch PVC piping from Home Depot
Bearings: 5 inch lazy suzan from Lowes.
