A no wind turbine story even with the incentives, looking for any sympathy/suggestions. :) I was hoping to put a Ventera (www.venteraenergy.com) unit up with...
Stephen, So is the problem that the Ventera produces too much energy, i.e., more than the average person consumes? A Ventera power curve has never been...

Mel, It is not just Ohio, New York (NYSERDA) recently did the same. Effectively killing the small wind industry in NY State. Now a Bergy 10 Kw is only rated...
Dave, The NYSERDA reason is clear. They want to rate and subsidize all turbines based on its production at a wind speed of 11 m/s. At that speed the Bergey...
Looking for device or software to evaluate and place small wind turbines, subdivision. Would like to be able to filter out results below c10Mph, over 60. ...
Doug, I have copied the relivent part I want to respond to. Let me explain why I haven't contacted Joe Guasti. Many many messages back I was going on about...
Steven, I have been following the Ventera web site for some time now. I hope to get the Alberta Dept of Agriculute to buy one for a demo project in rural...
Ellen, Thanks for the blog link. I am very interested in your experience with the Redriven. I would like to try one out in Alberta. I am involved with a...
Peter, Thanks for all this valuable information about power factors and reactive loads. Ever since you wrote to me about this I have been wondering if reactive...
There has been some talk recently about the new Federal Tax Credit on small wind turbines. SED (the people who installed my turbine) sent me a statement from...

I saw these 'whale power' air-foils (blades) when I visited WEICan last fall, but no report was available then. I have not read the report yet. Thanks, Nando,...
Hi all, I completed construction my Net-Zero Energy House in Jan 2008. The house is net-metered and powered by a 10 kW turbine + a 10 kW PV array producing...
Steve, How is your house in Colorado progressing? I think you are building it now, right? I think your house will be off-grid. If my memory is correct that...
Hi, SWIEP has reached a milestone...100 members. I was just about to mark that occasion two days ago but one member dropped out so we were back to 99 before I...
Hi Ellen, I do remember you and that you want to install a ReDriven turbine. Has NYSERDA approved funding for this turbine? Or is that decision what you are...
There seems to be a wide variety of data on wind in a particular area - the wind map used by NREL and the map published by 3Tier are widely different. Data...
Steve, I watched the video, but I couldn't find the photos about the turbine building project. Can you give a more exact link? --Mel Mel Tyree, BA PhD...
I'm uploading them as we type. Will be ready in a few minutes. http://www.green-trust.org/DIY%20Wind%20Turbine/ Steve Spence Renewable energy and self...
Hi everyone, I have completed a little study of BWC's new PowerSyncII inverter. This study compares the PowerSyncII efficiency to the GridTek10. Next on my...
Tod, You have inspired me to check my readings again, but it will be a be a couple of months before I get back to that inverter to check again. I will be...
Tod Hanley kindly gave us all data on another PowerSyncII inverter in tabular form (on s-w-h). So I added these data to my report(Figure 1). He is showing much...
Re: Doug's account below: This is a very useful story. To this list of "reliable turbines" (based on long experience) I think we can add the Jacobs. Jacobs ...
Doug, Sorry, I didn't notice your message, but Nando answered you; it is a job for the manufacturer. An automatic reset is not a science problems. The science...
Mike, Thanks for explaining in more detail. I wanted to write a brief message so did not go into all the details.I was trying to counter Doug's statement that...
Hi all, I use clock-timers to measure wind speeds. Clock-timers are very precise except at low wind speeds, when false triggers of the clock-timer circuit can...
