#1 - Renewable Energy > Technical Discussion: Other > Re: blade dimensions for a wincharger 1222

Hello Ian,

In case you'd like to carve the blade of your Wincharger yourself: i have got blade dimensions and description of the different sections for a blade with diameter of 1,50m, width of 91 mm and thickness at the root of 22 mm. I don't know if these correspond exactly to the dimensions of the blade that you have got on your machine. Apparently, the blade should run at 1100 rpm and should produce 150 Watts@9,3 m/s. If you are interested,let me know how i can pass them on to you. (got them in digital form).
Maybe you can leave me your e-mail address.
Enjoy,
Bert

Hello Ian,
Still searching myself for suitable info.
I have asked for info at the Dutch publisher "Kluwer" who, long time ago (1941), published the booklet "Windgeneratoren" from a certain Mr "Wartena". Therein ought to be a description of the Wincharger propellor.
so far, no reply yet .
I'll keep you posted!
Enjoy, Bert

Hi Dave,

Many thanks for your "searchwork": the puzzle is slowly coming complete. The prop who is on sale on e-bay looks like the one i broke in pieces but sending this item to Belgium would be very expensive. Your suggestion to put the pieces of the prop together is interesting. The John Albers plans can help also; it must be possible to recreate the profile somewhat. I also try to get in touch with the Dutch guy with his manual who possibly has something interesting for me.
Enjoy life and many greetings, Bert

With thanks to Jon for his answer. Unfortunately, as i am living in Europe Belgium it's quite hard to get this stuff from Applied Magnets over here. On top of that this Wincharger is some kind of an "oldtimer" , the one that was delivered with the famous "Zenith" farm radio's in the 1930's .

And i would like to keep my Wincharger as original as possible.
So i am looking for the original plans of that wooden prop and to carve it myself, must be fun.
Yours,
Bert

Hello,

I have an old 12V/200W Wincharger (1222 model) with 2 blades made out of one piece of wood (diameter being 72"). A stormy weather however destroyed my blades and now i am in a desperate need for the plans (templates at different stations)of those blades. Could anyone provide me those plans. Willing to pay any costs.
Kind regards,

Bert
