Price: $90 Plus $9.95 Shipping (anywhere in the continental United States) If you are outside the USA, do not buy this from the link here but contact me by phone at 315-849-5100. Otherwise, we will have a website with international shipping capability by October 1, 2009.
Note: You need to buy two used plastic 55 gallon drums (typically 15 dollars a piece or less), a permanent magnet generator (available on ebay anywhere from $19 for plans on making your own to $239 for a complete unit from qaz661 on ebay or from WindBluePower), and some pipes, lazy susan bearings, wood, and hardware from Lowes or Home Depot. All details are on the instructions. Also, you need mounting points to fasten the turbine to (you can use an overhang like I did or build a frame). We do not cover the building of a frame in these instructions. By watching the videos, you can ascertain what is required.
Gears are made from .38" cutting boards. Savonius turbine is assembled and shown in these two youtube videos. Please watch both videos before purchasing so you fully understand the scope of this turbine project:
