3D model description

This is a new experiment to generate wind energy, each cell is hexagonal so we make the most of the space in order to collect as much wind as possible, allowing us to create a coarse network formed by cells which will provide us with enough electrical energy to charge batteries.

I have not designed any circuit for connections so it is advisable to connect each motor to a bridge rectifier formed by 4 small diodes to ensure that the energy generated on one side or the other is collected correctly.

I have found that each cell can collect approximately 0.1Ah at 0.3V, so if we create a network of approximately 100 cells we would generate about 10Ah at 30V.

This project is ideal for outdoor experimentation or installing it at home.

I think it has endless possibilities and its efficiency could be greatly improved.

The ideal is to create a completely flat and wide panel to take full advantage of the wind.

Engines to generate electric power are cheap.

I have also improved the design providing it with more resistance, on the other hand I add the aversion 2 (v2) greatly improving the design.

I add a second version of my atormillable hexagonal wind cell (4M).

3D printing settings

Optional padding, recommended between 25% and 100%, depending on optional helix support, hexagonal cell body needs support, version 2 does not need support, optional padding minimum 10%. The parts are easy to print and assemble. Since I have not designed an anchoring system between the cells, I recommend gluing them with Epoxy resin.
