100% wind powdered. Designed to track the wind direction. Better yet, it floats so you can use as an offshore windfarm.
The VTOL engine ports are only to stabilize it at sea and can only hold agaisnt a 50 mph wind.
Function 1 and 2 activate the opposite side engine valves. point them up then find the side you need to push back against the wind with. Function 8 controls the various lights.
I added 2 extra gears at the base should anyone want to use them. The large gear is a 60 tooth 6 degree gear i made for a clock I have yet to build. The small gear is a 1/4 reduction mathematically.
I hope you enjoy the gearwerks!

@CalebRepublic Thank you!
@DPSAircraftManufacturer Nice! That would help a ton of gear driven projects.
@DPSAircraftManufacturer Thank you. Yes, it started life as a clock, hence the 60 tooth gear and just kinda morphed into this. A real generator would spin much faster. Challenge for the next build.
@jselbach lol thanks. That's extremely old though haha
@DuckMint Thank you! That means a lot. Also, your Heinkel is insanely good.
@jselbach Extremely cool.
@DuckMint It is. I've seen others post gears before so the idea is not original but the actual design work is all mine.
Is this original?
