THIS IS A 4 FOOT 8 INCH INVERTED PROP CARVING FOR WEST COAST DOUG. IT WAS ORIGIONALY INTENDED BY ME TO ROTATE CLOCKWISE , BUT I WOUND UP MAKING IT ROTATE COUNTER CLOCKWISE. I LABELED THIS AS AN INVERTED PROP BECAUSE THE WORD PROP MEANS PROPELLER. THIS DOES NOT PROPELL , THIS ABSORBS OR EXTRACTS POWER FROM THE WIND. IN ALL REALITY, THE ANGLES ARE INVERSE OR INVERTED. TO BE POLITICALY CORRECT; ONE HAS TO CALL IT AN INTERTED OR INVERSE PROPELLER. THE WORD BLADES, OR SET OF BLADES WILL WORK JUST FINE IN CONTEXT. THIS IS JUST A TERM THAT I COINED TO SAVE MYSELF FROM USING A TERM THAT I HATE TO USE. ANYWAY NTHIS ONE IS CARVED OUT OF WHITE PINE. ONE MIGHT THINK THAT IT SHOULD BE CARVED OUT OF A HEAVIER WOOD LIKE OAK , BUT THE HEAVIER WOODS ARE TOO HEAVY FOR THE ROTATION SPEEDS. THE LIGHTER WOODS LIKE POPLAR , AND YELLOW PINE WORK JUST FINE. VEDAR IS A GOOD WOOD, IT IS EASY TO WORK WITH AND IT LASTS A REALY LONG TIME. SOME CEDAR BLADES HAVE BEEN IN SERVICE FOR OVER 70 YEARS WITH NO SIGNS OF WEAR OR DETERIATION. PLEASE ENJOY THE DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES THAT I SHOW TILL YOU FIND ONE THAT MAKES IT SEEM POSSIBLE FOR YOUR SKILL TO ACCOMPLISH. IF YOU W2ANT TO MAKE WIND TURBINES I SUGGEST THAT YOU TRY TO CARVE AT LEAST ONE. IT WILL COME IN HANDY IN THE FUTURE. AND I THINK THAT A WOODEN PROP WILL GO MUCH FASTER THAN A PVC SET DUE TO THE SMOOTHER, MORE AERODYNAMIC DESIGN WITH LESS DRAG. IF YOU WANT TO EXTRACT ENERGY FROM THE WIND , THIS IS THE WAY TO DO IT. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING AND GOD …
