Even though Heather is essentially correct, this program was so heavily bombarded with requests last time it came around that only the most tenacious and...
Yes, diodes and bridge rectifiers are a good way to go and as with everything thrown into the face of nature, have their own problems...voltage loss being one...
Ok, glad this topic is finally hanging in there. If answered, we have cheap wind with 'manny/mo/jack/junkyard parts' AutoZone store recently wrote and are...
as anyone tried using a (lab, benchtop) power supply to charge lead- acid batteries? Any good? Risks? Any brands/models (mistakes) to avoid, in your opinion?...
Actually I don't think that very many small wind proposals were submitted the first two years, though it is true that each year the selection is becoming more...

Hello group: What is the best make of hydrometer? Any links as to where to buy? Is there another way of measuring SG without using a Hydrometer? Some sort of...
In my mind, the main benefit of flying a wind gen is to stop pissing away my limited income on fat cat utilities that couldn't care less about me. If it ...

We've been working on an advanced wind turbine that uses a high frequency radio wave amplifier pumped through a platinum loop to ionize the incoming air, then...
Dear David - great story and thank you for the electronic tip. How do you rewire the field circuit with a variable resistor/pot to change the current using a...
The minimum award is $2,500 for 25% of project costs, meaning the minimum project size is $10,000. I would estimate a wind turbine would need to be about 3 kW...
hello sir, my name is srinivas from india. i am doing one project on standalone wind power application. Regarding tht i need technical specifications for 1kw...
With all due respect, my questions were not answered. Please reexamine my questions again and leave out the bureaucratic "It all depends"... Would Hugh...
I prefer the swing arm type. As a rule, it is more precise than floating balls. Most of the really small and inexpensive floating ball types are worthless. The...
Just set the voltage to 13.73 Volts for a 12 Volts unit. I have been using this for more than 30+ years. The batteries have lasted many years, though I have...

Is there anyone flying the Whisper 200 in SouthWest Ontatio, Canada? If so, I would very much like to vist on a moderatly windy day to hear how much noise the...
Hi Nando and others: This is not viable in general. What will limit the current to the desired charge current? This will work with a correct (lucky?) choice...
Jonathan: Please do not make everything difficult. Just set the top voltage like 13.73 volts and let the current flow that should be less that the power supply...
