Hi, folks!
I'm in need of some suggestions as to how to attach this helicopter rotor:
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/5031
to a Technic axle. The rotor is designed to fit on a pin and spin freely,
I'd like to use it as the base for the vanes of a windmill and connect it
mechanically to a waterwheel below, which means axles and gears.
Any suggestions; whether they be just plain brilliant, semi-inspired, or off
the top of your head; would be appreciated.
Tatyana
