Hi Randy, Thanks for your offer to take the new Bergey off my hands. No thanks, I intend to keep it! I am guessing it will work fine with the new PowerSync II....
As many of you know, I am into an eight-month study on how often BWC's 10 kW turbine, the Excel-s, overloads the inverter it is matched (or mis-matched) to,...
Mel: This is for Randy Randy: Can you give a description of your controller to avoid re-inventing the wheel ? The Ballast controller should be able to...

Randy, My problems are not associated with a great wind resource. My wind resource is below commercial (marginal at 5.5 m/s mean annual wind speed). A good to...
Hello. My name is Robert Schultz. I am interested in learning more about renewable energy systems, especially wind and solar. I have a Bachelor's degree in...
Robert, Welcome to the group. My primary interest is net zero energy design for rural houses, farms and ranches. I think wind is a very cost-effective approach...
To Mike Klemen Dear Mike, I am just catching up on AWEA (small wind) messages. See my brief replies below. I am willing to explain more if I have been too...
Hi Mike, Thanks for asking. Download R#48 from http://www.ualberta.ca/~mtyree/SWIEP/Publications.html Best regards, Mel Mel Tyree, BA PhD (Cantab.) LLD (h.c.)...
Hello everyone. I am new to this group. I live in Maryland. Where according to most wind resource maps, it appears that wind power may not be a viable...
Hi Jay, Welcome to the group. As a general rule you want to place a turbine where there is adequate wind to justify the cost. I am not sure what you mean by a ...
I haven't seen a VAWT worth the materials it's built with. The wind maps don't take into effect the power at 100+ feet. If you aren't getting enough wind,...
As I educate myself more on this topic, you are correct. The turbines I thought suited to lower wind speeds would be the VAWT type. Two I am aware of are...
... Thanks for the reply. But, wouldn't everyone putting up 100'+ towers for a residential turbines discourage most people interested in persuing alternative...
I agree with both of you in a way. If you want to put a small VAWT on your house to send a message to your neighbors: 'We all need to be green' then that is a...
Depends on if you are interested in producing electricity, or just want a cool "green" lawn ornament ..... I build turbines that produce electricity. Steve...
Mel & Steve, I appreciate the fact that I may never be able to power my home completely with any single renewable souce. I'm not looking for a cool "green"...
I agree with what Steve has said. There are NO vertical axis wind turbines that have been proven to work well for a long period of time. There are NO rooftop...
Just for the record, I have 3 wind turbines (1000 watt, 500 watt, & 400 watt), and 1700 watts of pv, plus a backup generator (no grid). I don't put all my eggs...
I live in an urban area and I know there wouldn't be enough wind for generating power to my house. I read an article about a small home made turbine and...
Hi all, In a previous message to me, Michael Klemen, asked that I provide the group as much detail as possible about how I do my tests and calcuations...
Although it is much less expensive to initially get hooked into the local electric company's grid than it is to set up and hook into wind turbines, in the long...
That's a spam site trying to make google clicks. They have tried to spam every group I own, never participating in conversation, just trying to get hits with...
Steve, Thanks for this info. So I will delete similar messages in future as I have in recent past. But for anyone wishing to contribute hits, I have allowed...
The way this message was written -- indicates that the writer is trying to motivate the reader to respond and at the same time to visit the web page, that many...

Hi all, I hope this reply (SWIEP posting R#49 on http://www.ualberta.ca/~mtyree/SWIEP/Publications.html) will address some of the last areas of disagreement...
Hi all, SORRY ABOUT THE MULTIPLE POSTINGS. IT IS NOW AVAILABLE BUT IT IS R#50 NOT R#49. Below is the corrected message. MODERATOR, please delete all but this...
Dear Michael, I have noticed that you (and a few other members of AWEA) have a temper. You may remember that you once apologized to me for your temper. When I...
Hi all, I have just noticed an error and contradiction(?) in my data. So I added Appendix 2 and a reference to it on page 4 where I noticed the contradiction....
Mel, Jacobs/Wind Turbine Industries has made a 10kW unit for over 30 years if my memory serves me correctly, probably longer. ARE currently makes a 10kW unit...
