justVAWTs

<h1>JustVAWTs</h1> <p>adds vertical axis wind turbines to the vanilla game mechanical systems.</p> <p>Want something that fills the gap until you can get your hand on a windmill rotor and sails?<br />Don't want MillWright&nbsp;<em>and an addon on top of that</em> to get VAWTs?<br />Do you just want something that spins?</p> <p>Look no further, justVAWTs has your back!</p> <h2>What is in there?</h2> <p>Several types of wind turbines, each type with their own maximum speed and torque.<br />I have&nbsp;<em>tried</em> to balance out how easy a VAWT is to achieve and how much power it generates compared to the windmill rotor wile trying to apply at least&nbsp;<em>a little bit</em> of real world logic.<br />This means VAWTs in general do not generate as much torque as a windmill rotor with sails, but are easier to make.<br />Some models now have large variants, which appear as a 3x3 multi block in the world.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 692px; border-color: #000000; border-style: solid;" border="1" cellpadding="2"> <tbody> <tr style="height: 135px;"> <td style="width: 33.3333%; height: 135px;"> <h3 style="margin-top: 1.5em;">Helical turbine (new large variant!
