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...

Here is some interesting customer feedback that is new to me concerning an ARE turbine. Hi Jimmer, Are you able to get your system manuals into pdf format?...
This gets me 30% more energy than I actually get on my turbines...????? Mike From: SWIEP@yahoogroups.com [mailto:SWIEP@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of sspence65...
What variables did you use? It was spot on for my AIR X. Maybe I screwed up a formula somewhere. Steve Spence Renewable energy and self sufficiency ...
It is not designed to do a VAWT…. radius is 2 feet on ours, that is not enough to give a swept area on a VAWT. That gives 300 kWh – 20 feet is not right...
No, it's not designed for VAWT's. Steve Spence Renewable energy and self sufficiency http://www.green-trust.org http://makingthewebwork.blogspot.com/...
I just put the finishing touches on the new air density calculators, associated with the wind power output calculator. Please test and advise. The calculator...
I'm starting the design of a fair sized VAWT turbine (~10' tall). I'm having trouble finding a decent drawing to scale my design. The turbine type I'm...
If you don't even have a decent drawing, then why do you think you want a VAWT? Maybe you should backtrack and first try to get more information on the...
Hello I'm a new member living off grid since 83 and have been looking at wind turbines as an adjunct to our pv system which is a little shy of 1kw. The one in...
Hi Ron, If you have been living off grid for >25 years you probably know something about charge controllers for batteries. Can you get much technical info...
Not sure why the focus on charge controlers. They aren't an issue if you get a good one. My question was about the company and it's reputation vis a vis the...
Ron, Thanks for the link. At this price I think you are buying junk especially if you are planning to mount it on your roof. There has been a very large study...
6 blade wind turbines on a roof is a sure indication that something isn't right. "Capable of producing 1000 Watts in winds over 58 MPH! Over 500 watts at only...
If we get a wind system I will need some advice on power diversion beyond water heating and the best ways to deal line loss between source and loads. My home...
Ron: The use of a MX60 with a wind mill, you will need a ballast controller to insure that the generator does not produce a voltage higher than the maximum...

The battery is the buffer. The mx-60 is the ballast controller, and a water or air element is the ballast load. You lose the MPPT function in this arrangement....
Steve: No, the ballast controller is to limit the wind mill upper voltage that the MPPT controller may not be able to control when wind is high. The ELC is...
