- Learn how to swiftly create an Archimedes wind turbine in FreeCAD with this beginner-friendly tutorial. Follow along for a simple workflow using the part workbench and two simple sketches in the sketcher. This can also be easily adapted to part design. Harness the power of the Fibonacci spiral design for optimal wind energy harvesting. Join me on this journey as I aim to further develop and construct the device myself.

Thank you so much; I was looking for the same; I created it...
I was doing this same exercise in Freecad 1.0, to practice a bit the booleans with the helix, but I had a problem generating the union. In the end I had to separate the center of the helixes so that they do not coincide at a single point. But other than that, a very entertaining design. Thanks MJ
I've been hit by this, can you explain how to fix it?
S'ok, got it. Just a tweak of the Polar/Circular > Center by 0.1mm fixed it.
@AndyBKay Yep, that was the easy solution.
Many many thanks to you for detail design of wind turbine
Again thanks from India.
Funny. When I was first exposed to FreeCAD, I needed to create a screw. What a learning lesson I had. From 0 to 60 in record time. Messing with the helix, profiles and sweeps were not beginner concepts. Wow what I've learned in 4 years. Since then, I've learned there are addon work benches for screws and gears. I'm headed to the architecture work bench for making gaming pieces soon. Thank you again for all the in-depth lessons.
Great to hear the journey you have been on, so glad the tutorials have helped :)
Great video, thank you for posting. I'm starting to warm up to FreeCAD more and more. I was put off by it at first but I think I just need to learn most of the functions to be more comfortable
Freecad has a steep learning curve due to the multiple different workbenches that can be used (and abused) together and without guidance it can be very hard going at it alone. I have been down that path and it's not nice, and it's the reason why I made this channel 😊. Really glad these videos are helping and welcome to the journey.
I had already designed turbines using the golden ratio with variable wall thicknesses (including aerodynamic ones), using FreeCAD's loft function. To optimize the design, using thin walls, I have seen designers using rods connecting the ends to the shaft, but in my projects I replaced these rods with a ring where these ends are embedded, in order to stabilize the body even in extreme conditions. This comment is a suggestion to boost practical uses.
Thank you for adding that. That sounds like a really good suggestion. I had a look back at the Liam F1 and this does to seem to have a number rods. Adding the rings instead is a really interesting concept and I can see how it can integrate into the design. I am only just starting out on this adventure and your comment has given me some much needed food for thought. Thanks once again.
How can one build this thing IRL from a strong materials? Not those printed ones.
Can you make a video please?
Wow, that's a crazy shape.
Sir practical is so difficult sir. Good explain 👌🌹🙏
Hi- good to see that vid. Can you explain or do that- how to make a flat shape of blade to be laser cuted from steel and than bent to coplete auch as turbine for real usage ?
That was cool. Thanks
Great. Was cool learning 🙂
Is it possible to see what each vane would look like, if we wanted to cut it from a flat sheet?
Nice job! 👏 It would be interesting to develop a blade into flat sheet, but I don't think it's possible (?)
I have a video coming up soon regarding unwrapping models for laser / plasma cut so should work with this one.
Hey, I realise this is 10 months old now, but i followed your video to the letter and when I do the final union followed by the recompute the only thing that shows is the sweep (spindle) This is in the latest version of 1.0.0 and also the latest dev version 1.1.0 No idea how to resolve this
Can you share the model? Awesome tutorial!
Hi there, very good video, thanks very much.
How it look like each blade on flat shape?
Thanks
If you need a kind of more cylindrical rotor just do not decrease the Helix angle (he made it at -45º), just leave it at oº.
How to convert images from 3d to 2d for cnc cutting. then bend again. T rẻ Thank you!
Hi! Very good. Can you get flat development?
Everything in freecad is so damn convoluted.
I'm sure it's powerful software, but it's not friendly.
why dont we see, any of these, in use..
Instead of three vane spirals try five and eight vane spirals to see if they are any better.
That's interesting, I would love to see a test with them all working together to see how much faster they turn.
Can we vary the thickness of Blades ?
Yes you can alter the offset thickness but I am not sure if that's what you are looking for?
Is freecad available without fees?
It has no fees, fully open source and can be downloaded from the freecad website.
Greetings, Could you share the file?
Dove posso comperarlo
comperare cosa? FreeCad e gratis, sia per Linux che per Windows o Apple.
Some of us don't have computer education. Could you pls make it more comprehensive to a lay person like me.
no queremos ver dibujos queremos ver comose hace la turbina
this tutorial is about how to use FreeCad to design it, if you want to build it I know of at least 4 different methods you can use at home
@@severpop8699 Puede publicar esos cuatro métodos gracias
@@valerio-yo9sf You can export the model as a STL file to be 3D printed (filament or resin) and as Gcode for CNC machining using the Path workbench.
