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...

Roger, Yes, as soon as I posted the message I remembered the Jacobs! And I have seen the ARE in ASU, but I forgot that it was a 10 kW. Anyway, I want to do...

Doug, Your opinions are duly noted. However your story (last paragraph) is funny to say the least! I have never heard of a case of a scientist being fired from...
Robert, I recommend this link, its a good place to start. http://www.thebackshed.com/windmill/articles/GettingStarted.asp Next, find out what is the average...
Hi All, As many of you know, Mike Bergey and I have an honest disagreement about design faults in the 10 kW Excel-s turbine when connected to a GridTek10...
Greetings to all, I wanted to send a note to SWIEP members marking the first Anniversary of the founding of SWIEP (23 March 2008). Okay, I am early, but I will...
We are looking at installing a 10kw turbine and are worried about the accuracy of the wind maps. A true site survey would ideal but out of curiosity are people...
Stephen, It is a little more complicated than the question: Are wind maps accurate? The other question is: Even if wind maps are accurate do WindCad models...
For my area the wind maps are spotty. My architects ended up using three different sources and interpolating a wind range which they felt indicated the site...
Since my house was already located, a wind map doesn't help me much. Getting a turbine up as high as possible, and then living with the results is the reality....
I posted some info about SWIEP on a few message boards in the Pickens Plan. There should be a few owners of small wind systems there who could provide Mel with...
Check a local factory for wind speed and direction. Some factories track that information for environmental purposes. Call the main number and ask for the...
Which makes perfect sense in your situation! You were unlikely to move just for that. I actually already know more or less where the turbine is going to go...
Hi to all, I think members of SWIEP and Green Power Talk, might like to know that Small-Wind-Home (AWEA) is considering censoring my technical opinions on the...
Mel: There are code words for people to stop progress, stifle dissent, curb the truth, put a wet blanket on rabble-rousers who might reveal the lies or rock...

Hi Doug, Thanks for your opinions and support regarding near censorship. Regarding science, I know you have always had strong opinions and I must admit you are...
Mel: Most of my friends get paid as scientists too. Obviously I am not against science, i am against lies in the name of science as enforced by those who write...

Doug, I am against dishonesty in science too. But often science has no clear answer to some of the world's important questions. Also some scientist can be...
Mel: I read quite well about "censorship" since my messages are "moderated" until I write what the moderator wants and several times they send me messages that...

No I don;t think so Mel. Science is about finding facts when it has been determined that facts are KNOWN., It is not about name-calling and firing people for...

I know you have been on about global warming before. I respect your opinion. I have my own opinion too, but don't have time to share it and it is not my area...
