Yeah, Max does not have meaning in here. I was just being complete in referring to these parameters.chalker wrote:No min distance anymore. Not sure why a max distance would matter?

Will there be a change in the amount of resistance that the turbine has to face?

Re: Wind Power B/C
Has anyone tried using the stand science lab ring stand to test/mount/run the blade? Is it sturdy or stable enough to withstand the hi/low box fan speed?

It works. Just make sure it is a heavy version of a ring stand and you wont have any issues even at high speed with a great design. Sometimes you will have to hold the CD attachment because it will want to spin but that's about it (unless you glue it...)

The larger the better? I can't tell you the weight off the top of my head.
