### Tower design
[[File:Wooden-tower-2.JPG|border|thumb|potential design: 6x6s with cross beams]]
A tower design with four pressure-treated 4x4s or 6x6s that are connected via diagonal crossbeams on the outside and plateaus seem reasonable.
On this [website](https://www.rockridgewindmills.com/photo-video-gallery/new-windmill-projects/big-wood-tower/) you can find some inspiring images.

### up next
- think about Gorlov blade design - [Onix 1 3D printer](https://markforged.com/3d-printers/onyx-one) - prints with carbon embedded - build volume 320 x 132 mm 154mm tall
- scale down based on reynolds number - relevant dimension: qart of the foil, dynamic viscosity [paper](https://asmedigitalcollection.asme.org/energyresources/article-abstract/137/5/051208/372961/Small-Scale-Wind-Turbine-Testing-in-Wind-Tunnels?redirectedFrom=fulltext)
- look into motor shaft sealing water - propellor shaft seals - drive shaft seal
- https://wes.copernicus.org/preprints/wes-2020-66/wes-2020-66.pdf
- final deliverable
- tower design
- email STI files to Tim or Daniela
### Newly structured wiki page for wind turbine system
- azimuth - rotation of rotor to generator
- yaw - rotation of nacelle about vertical tower
- pitch - angle/pitch of blades about their lengthwise axis
