I'm gathering parts for a 1Kw gravity vortex watermill. I've got a washing machine motor, a housing made from parts (a dog kennel and a ventilator!) and two outboard motor propellers to choose from (3-blade metal and 6-blade plastic). All I need now is a shaft to connect the propeller to the motor/generator and an optional extension tube that necks down from 14" to ~7".
Do you think it would be better to square the tips of the blades and put it in a duct, or leave the tips and put it below the end of the duct?
