Hey guys,
I'm doing a custom gate for a friend and I thought you guys might like this design. I bought an old windmill off craigslist and took the bearing housing apart. Going to mount it the gate in the center of this dxf. Still thinking about mounting it firm because im not sure if itll like a cross-wind, as a windmill is suppossed to face the wind. We get up to 60mph gusts around here. Little worried about it ripping off or spinning so fast that it tears apart. Any windmill experts here? lol.....anyway.

Re: Idea For Custom Gate
Yes, it is a very cool idea. Just an idea as of now. I found a guy on ebay who makes custom windmills with the bearing housing. He says 70mph will bend the fins. Im going to perforate the fins so they have less resistance to the wind. Will update as I go.
