Hello, thank you for your answers.

 The propeller I want to design is intended to convert energy from wind or localized disturbances into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy. It's almost a mini wind turbine, at least that's the principle. I use the turbocad software for my designs in its most basic version (so I only have a limited number of functions.)  

Regarding the tutorial it seems very good to me... I still have to study it in detail to adapt my design to the equipment at my disposal.

For the shaft attachment, I am studying two options: either it will be done with a key  or with a fluted shaft. 

In any case, for me it is an original design. The next step will be  the calculation of the efficiency of using such a propeller.
