PVC pipes to build an hydrofoil?

Postby GTC » Thu Nov 14, 2013 2:07 am

Hi guys,
Long time ago I self made a windgenerator with a low budget. I used PVC pipes to made the wind turbine blades and It worked fine. On the links below you can see the idea:

I was wondering if we could use this technology to make the hydrofoil fins :cool2: . Does this idea look stupid?


Regards!

I admire your ingenuity but I think the hydrodynamic forces are a lot more intense.
