GE 1.5MW Wind Turbine
 |
|
Client: M Industrial Mechanical Inc.Designed in 3D on CAD and produced by stereolithography, this 1:50 scale model has been extensively reworked since the first model (basic version below) and now contains a higher level of detail. The model can be supplied with a powered or free-wheeling rotor. When powered, a low voltage motor/gearbox turns the rotor at approx. 10 rpm, and is supplied with a universal 110-240v power supply making it suitable for use in any country. |
The model is made for quick assembly without tools, for easy assembly on site.

Transportation and Storage Case (Optional) Again, no tools are needed to stow the model in its case.In this particular example, timber in the model baseboard and case are only plywood (no solid timber), to avoid any complications with U.S timber import restrictions. |
|
|
Here (picture on right) the model baseboard has been locked into the base. Then the stowage tray in placed on top, and the model components are located and secured in place with Velcro straps (picture below). Lastly the lid is placed over and secured. |

GE 1.5MW Wind Turbine (basic detail)
|
Client:Aristeo Construction This was the first of this GE wind turbine model produced. Like that above, 1:50 scale but basic in detail. I still produce this if required as it does cost less due to lower level of detail in the model. This model also is made for quick assembly without tools. The detail images show the same blade bayonet attachment method. |
