Mini Wind Turbine

A Mini Wind Turbine with a handle that turns the rotor and blades.
Besides turning the blades, the nacelle also rotates 360 degrees for Yaw control.
Having in mind that this is a STEM project, I have intentionally exposed the inner moving parts with transparent bricks on one side so that anyone can enjoy looking at the mechanism while turning the handle.
*I have used one custom-made brick 2571 with 2 studs, used only for aesthetics.

Dimensions:
Base: 16x16 studs
Height: 35 cm
Blades diameter: 11.6 cm
Nacelle and rotor length: 14 cm
248 parts and a fairly easy and enjoyable build.

Bonus: it is possible to attach multiple turbines in the array and use a motor to turn all of them at the same time.
