New Sharp VAWT - Completion and Trials

Some video of the completed Sharp VAWT. It worked well with lots of starting torque and good speed. In a modest wind, it was spinning fast enough to make me wait for the wind to die down before attempting to stop it. However, a number of weaknesses in the design make it apparent that it would tear itself apart. The windmill has since been disassembled to address those issues.
