Folks - Here are a few more comments and thoughts from someone who follows this group and contributes very occasionally. 1) This site is very valuable and I...
Those turbines run smooth and make decent power at 30 mph and above. You can swap in a home-made wide, flat blade carved from a 1 x 4 piece of poplar available...
Greetings all - We are living off grid in southwest MO, with a PV system that generates about 7kW on a good sunny day - which is about what we use. On a bad...

Apparently the current issue has a number of recent papers relating to 'generators'/inverters/converters for wind energy applications: Volume: 23 Issue: 3...
I live in a small community that probably consumes a total of 5 million Kilowatt Hours a year (350 homes x 14,000KWHrs per year). We are in a perfect location...
Thanks for responding. My little 400W windgen used to have a tilt-down mast of stainless tubing with 3 stays at 3/4 hight. Being in town this had to be lowered...

Google up "community wind" and poke around. There are European models, as well as some recent US state models to follow. Roger Dixon _____ From:...

... Can't tell you what I think as you've given no information. A few pictures and a Van Halen sound track? What are we supposed to deduce from that? Oh, and...
Hi Doug, I don't actually know where MO is (being Scottish), but i wonder if the trees are tall enough to make a 100 foot tower worth doing. I know that Ian...
Jade, We make a lot of 12v turbines mostly the Ampair 100 and the Ampair 300 which are each rated at 100W and 300W. We make a more powerful turbine which is ...
I laughed a lot but I can't just sit back and let it pass because some newbies have good intentions. And I like to know what they have to offer. I can let good...
As I have pointed out Ed, you really need to read postings more carefully. Doug ... From: Edward Tsang To: dougselsam Cc: awea-wind-home@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Hey Doug: Greetings from Colorado! I grew up in Missouri (Sullivan, if you know where that is). I'm building a new home right now and intend for my power to...
This has been done many times in Denmark, though they have the institutional framework for it. You might want to read Paul Gipe's book "Wind Energy comes of...
Yeah, Doug, But you have to start writing more readably. It's pretty hard to make sense of it sometimes when it is written in pre-punctuation format. Ed ... ...
Hmm nevermind I read my own posting and I did say I was gonna quit. But I was kidding. Glad you are here on the list Ed. I guess I need to read my own...
I was reflecting on how newbies comment on the backbiting and teasing that goes on in this list - reminds me of someone going to a football game and saying...
Pardon me if this is an intrusion. Excess power-system is not an overkill. You just need to manage and store it as a future back up. More is better if you can...
Perhaps this post will make it on. My other two failed to make it, for whatever reason. This is a village 200 miles from Nome. Heating fuel and Diesel is $6 ...
I'm afraid you misunderstand me, though I probably wasn't clear enough. I *like* having excess power and view it exactly as you do. As an engineer I'm a firm...
Well, since you asked. Check out http://www.kiteship.com/ and check out the cargo shipping stuff. ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Contact me for a .pdf file of meter readings of our 65 kw to 108 kw turbines here, average revenue from the electrical utility for power production over one ...
I'm considering changing my 15kw 12 volt battery bank over to a 24 volt bank. I have two 3000/6000 watt 12 volt Richmond Inverters. Has anybody successfully...
re. tower height; Go high, young man. The advantages of each increment of height, particularly in a marginal wind area, are too numerous to ignore. You need to...
Hi Gang, New topic. Looking back on the list I have never seen any discussion on the importance of matching the mast design to the turbine RPM range in order...
Hi, I've been looking to get a wind turbine for my home. I've talked with several companies, and it looks like I need a 20Kw wind turbine to meet my all...
