... Cool. At the bottom of the tower, I installed a junction box (to be changed for the disconnect as per the inspector's wishes), and have checked the...
... There may be code issues, but, for instance, for my clients, I try never to place a tower close enough to fall on the house ;-). It's not a big deal with a...
... Diversion of power by the controller is not directly related to windspeed at all. It is related to battery voltage. If your battery is small or fully...
Hi Craig, The cost of our 1 megawatt machine is approximately 1 million Oz dollars not including tower and installation. - please find attached document for...
... Ah, I misspoke. I meant physical diversion of the blade face, out of the wind. On my Jacobs turbine, I *would have* called it furling, because the blades...
Not resistive heating anyway, thats just throwing the power away. Try ground sourced heat pumps to use those kilo-watts with, it'll go much farther towards...

Howdy, I'm testing out a couple of different turbine designs and I would like everyone's advice on how to log power output. I see a couple of commercial...
It's a day late, but I was sick so it's my fault. There are some good articles in it, and hopefully something for everybody. Enjoy, ldb -- Larry D. Barr ...
Gentelmen, We are doing a simulation with full details for wind turbines. We need some set of specifications for wind turbines around the world. All the rated...
Hey, all: Thanks for the responses but I am still in the same position as before. The magnet rubbing is more serious than "slightly". Turning by hand as hard...
... I have used a stone cutting disk in an angle grinder to take down the middles of the faces of ferrite magnet blocks on Whirlwinds and Whispers with good...
Hello, I just purchased a Hobo data logger from Onset WWW.onsetcomp.com And recived it a few days ago. I think it will do what you want also. The one I ...
David, Since I'm not the manufacturer of your turbine I might be stepping on certain toes here, but it sounds as if too much epoxy was used to glue those...
David, I did some research on our end regarding your machine. First of all, I found that this was a machine produced in 1999 by World Power Technologies. This ...

Raul: I replied to your hypothetical H-A multi / V-A example with one of my own that I thought was closer to reality. OK to take your exact example: 1. I would...
Hi I was involved with one install. Everything went well, the machine worked well up to expectations. A tornato came through after about one year, and...
I am getting a picture here. It does appear to be a couple of problems. First is the controller - It is a good chance you have a controller set at the wrong...

Matt is correct except for the glue issue and rust. One of the things we changed in 2000 was to go to a different glue. We went to a more pliable two part...
