Wow , I would like to see fast moving sharp objects flying thru the air. Well atleast at my exwifes house.
i like applesauce

what kind of motor are you using?
It can happen in +40mph winds. Like someone else said, sorry to see you learn the hard way.
i’m not sure if this would apply to Australia. i have used thicker walled pvc for my blades but the pip i used was for a different rating of water pressure. to brown55061 i have seen people on some neighboring boats have used black pvc for blades. i have seen the orange pvc used for blades too.
It could depend on what kind of PVC you use as well. Has anyone tried black ABS plastic? Was this pvc pipe schedule 80? The lighter stuff is going to flex more and break. Granted, the heavier wall PVC is going to have a higher startup wind speed but it wont break as easy. Just tossing out ideas, I haven’t built one yet.

65 mph winds,I highly doubt it.you must sell plans on building cheap wind turbines using pvc.wait till they get frozen or brittle and come apart,and they will.
bull shit 65 mph in the try citys no prob
scary
what dumbassification misses is that pma’s need high speed to produce any power at all,pvc blades can never reach enough speed to create any usable power,don’t waste your time or money. using pvc for anything but plumbing is not a good idea,ask a plumber.
to dumbassification
lets say you pay $25.00 for autolaynes PVC wind turbine plans and you build it,your not at home and the wind speed picks up above 35 mph,it has no way to shut down.your neighbors or family has a HARD lesson to learn.i get emails every day from people that have had a bad or dangerous exsperience with PVC blades coming apart,high wind is not always what causes them to break,pvc gets brittle in the winter.people making money selling PVC turbine plans are making out very well.
to dumbassification
first,your name fits you,second ,you should do more research on turbine blades before you comment.our turbines are never shut down,they are rated for 135mph winds.the 4 wind turbines that run on our store roof have survived several tornado’s pssing by,straight line winds 80 mph plus.there are metal blades manufactured that do not shut down in 35 mph winds.most of the turbines being built out of pvc have no furling or any kind of shut down for any wind speed.
Most people shut down thier wind turbines at 35 mph. It does not matter what blade material you have you arent supposed to run a turbine at rediculous rpm. Sorry to see you learn the hard way.

point you make is good on the steel bracing,problem is when the pvc becomes brittle that flexing is going to cause them to snap off.one guy tried to tell me there is no latteral force whatsoever on the blades,he come up with graphs and charts and scientific figures and said i was lying.of course he was pushing layne ericksons video(WHICH HE NOW SELLS FOR $25.00)and wind blue.layne even admits that when the blades eventually break,he wouldnt want to be around.thanks for comment.
Just for the record, I mounted a set of 24 inch blades to close to its 4×4 mast just to see what would happen. Result when the pressure of the wind against the blade forced it in to the mast at around 30 mph wind I was shocked to see chunks of 4×4 flying around and my blades were fine I watched them hit over and over and they never broke. I always thought the steel running the length of the blade was a bad idea it leaves little room to flex in high wind. JUST TRYING TO HELP
Pvc is right is more facilde change and become any kind of way, but in terms of its durability is very limited if not how long is that turbine was ESPONSE sun makes me make a few parts that should be avoided prior to this location, the PVC is lightweight and easy to handle can be installed pvc Cedula 40 to give a longer life.
Thanks your comment is very good.
the purpose for this video is not to knock guys trying to save money,but to inform people of the dangers of using pvc for wind turbines.cities and counties are banning micro turbines because of these types of wind turbines,not because of the safe and quiet ones.neighbors are afraid to have these next to there yard for good reason.the guys selling plans for these pvc turbines say i am lying.i will post all comments ,good and bad,unlike the limited time offer guys. lets not loose free electric.

wooden blades are more solid and definetly more stable.people have been making wooden blades forever including airplane props.
do wooden blades they are more stable and solid.
i have seen this happen,this guy is trying to save you money and time and truly knows wind turbines,keep up the good work man.
THIS IS SO TRUE!!!
I have experinced pvc blade failure they usually break in one place next to the root this damage looks like impact damage from the multiple fractures. did the blades impact the tower or some solid surface ? while pvc blades arnt the best material they do work fairly well and are inexpensive
and being hit by a light weight piece of pvc is preferable to being hit wirh a razor sharp aluminum spear like blade but still apperacet your input though
at what temperature and pressure these PVC blades start breaking up?? any one can help me
