Completion and Revision

After completion of my final lasercutting, problems regarding scale and proportions of life size wind turbines has come to me as my primary concern. Due to the fact that my model is built at a 1:50 scale, the size of my generator (motor) needs to be appropriately scaled down as well. In doing so, the energy output of the smallest motor I can find, does not allow me to produce sufficient amount of energy let alone, any energy. the problem with using a larger motor is that a) it is not realistically an appropriate size as well as it becomes much more difficult to turn the wind devices and produce energy.
