Parametric Wind‐Whirl Generator

Parametric Wind‐Whirl Generator

What it is
A fully‐parametric OpenSCAD script that generates elegant, spiral “wind whirl” sculptures designed to press‐fit a bearing. You get a hollow hub for the bearing plus twisting arms that catch a breeze, all customizable at runtime.

Key Features

• Hollow Bearing Hub
  Precisely sized pocket (with clearance) for a  bearing.
• Adjustable Spiral Arms
  Choose how many arms (e.g. 3–12+), how long, how wide, and how much twist each one gets.
• Aesthetic Chamfers
  Convert each rectangular arm into an airfoil profile by chamfering each leading or trailing edge—tune the “wing” shape for maximal wind capture.
• Custom Wave Patterns
  Add sinusoidal “wiggles” along your arms for sculptural flair. Control amplitude, frequency, start/end along the arm, and offset phase.
• Outer Cutoff & Ring
  Clip your entire sculpture to a fixed outer diameter, or surround it with a cylinder “ring” for a framed, contained look.

Use Cases

• Wind Sculptures & Kinetic Art
  Perfect for yard or patio decorations—place on a stake, hang from a tree, or mount to a wall stud; the bearing lets it spin freely in any breeze.
• Functional Turbines & Fans
  Prototype small, low‐speed fan blades for ventilation or cooling; adjust twist and profile for maximum airflow.

First time trying parametric design using openSCAD, let me know if you have any tips or tricks, maybe features you want to see? Also thanks to Matthew Vanderwerff to inspire me to make this generator!
