The rotating tower supports the turbine and superstructures on the standpipe so that they can rotate through 360\u00b0. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A slip ring is also integrated in it to dissipate the generated energy to the non-rotating part of WinDIY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to build the turret is described in the following article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety instructions <\/span><\/h2>\r\n

I know the following notes are always kind of annoying and seem unnecessary. Unfortunately, many people who knew "better" have lost eyes, fingers or other things due to carelessness or injured themselves. Data loss is almost negligible in comparison, but even these can be really annoying. Therefore, please take five minutes to read the safety instructions. Because even the coolest project is not worth injury or other trouble.<\/span>

Before you can start building the rotating tower, you must of course have all the necessary parts together. A complete list of the required materials and tools can be found above in the material and tool list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
