Hi again everyone! Noticed I hadn't introduced myself here! My name is Mattias Aldaron and I am a mature student in a career change from computers to energy...
Hey I would encourage anyone who feels that way to make a circuit that shuts your machine down when the winds reach 20 mph - your turbine will last forever. ...
Hi Johannes, In general, I don't think it will be feasible to do a voltage to wind speed transfer function. I've attempted RPM to wind speed, and that's not...
Answer to your dumb question: It's because European homes are smaller and Europeans live a more spartan life. Because European nations are much poorer than...
Yes, I have actually had Dr. Mitty Plummer and his students brought it up to Toronto for a show. It was good for about 80 miles, but not optimized. And yes, I...
... The Germans are better at energy conservation. They also probably don't need so much air conditioning in the summer. They do still use big wind turbines...
One of those carry-overs from the 50's and 60's when the utilities were selling energy at rock-bottom prices, "Gold Medallion" homes (the name given houses...

The 200' mark has to do with the limits to single mold glass fabrication parts, not to aerodynamics. I don't know why you want to keep chasing this rabbit...
Well Sorry Jon but all I did was agree with your statement that output over 20 mph could be discarded without consequence. As far as calling me a "huckster" -...
