I used stove pipe finding out it is a bit on the heavy side. Do you think aluminum gutters to a house will work better in the wind? It turns fairly well using stove pipes, but still seems to be on the heavy side. I been using bicycle rims. I’m trying to build a wind generator, thanks.
Yes aluminum is the lightist metal . . . thats why thy make planes from it
