Paul - The dealer can answer the question to the raising of the tower but there is a good reason why the turbine was not spinning right away. The UL-1741...

Use something like a small diesel engine (VW makes a great one). Kawasaki makes an excellent piston type hydraulic motor that I think is rated for up to 7500...
I am replying in support of Ed Lenz and his VAWT. However, I don't need to defend him, just check out his website, http://www.windstuffnow.com , and you can...

No cigar....the Super Duty motor is rated for constant duty in confined spaces at 2790 watts. Hanging in the wind on top of a tower, the full length aluminum...
Hi All, I was looking at the energy bill that was passed by the house yesterday, and could not find anything on the small turbine tax credit. Does that mean...
Years ago a friend and I were discussing wind machines and came up with a rather unique idea.......... rather than a wind machine that goes round and round a...
Anthony, Please write a paper on you theories and either submit it to a journal or post it on the web, so we can follow what you are saying in detail. Go...
Don: I was trying to disconnect from Doug salesman rhetoric. Though the motor is 180 volts 15.5 amps at 1750 RPM, to attain more than 1000 watts you need to...

The important thing here is reliability and long life........ Drate rather than going for max. These machines need to be built to operated day in and day out...
But Nando, I'm your friend...I appreciate your help and always have. At this point I'm not sure anymore. Is that large super duty PM motor (180v, 15.5 a @1750...
I have a 600watt wind turbine and 200 watts of solar collectors connected to a EZ90/900 panel that was dated July 20, 1999. The EasyWire System Monitor display...
Paul, No it is far from dead. There is a small wind provision but it is buried in the State Bond program. Unfortunately, it does not really help us. We are in...

For real flight of fancy wind machines try google or youtube for Theo Jansen or Strandbeest. The way you described the wings reminded me of his wind power...
I want to just post the observation that a turbine that can be quickly braked electrically, by shorting out the wires, can just keep on running if the wire run...
I built one about 12 years ago to pump water and it worked a bit but like most complex technology, it was hard to make it reliable, (all those stall linkages) ...
Technical things seems to appear in different places disconnected in time. Years ago I myself constructed a small model of the machine you are describing. It...

Can't help you with the instrumentation problem, but it sounds as if your battery bank is in need of replacement. Usually a string in a bank like yours that...
Jim: It should not be really difficult to make the linkage work reliably...... I would probably design it like a little airplane with the tail attached to the...
Thanks for the link.......... not really quite what I had in mind........ but the idea of reciprocating is the same. In the design I had envisioned the wing...
Rooftop-mounted wind turbines are a no-no! Having said that, I have recently caved to a request from a relentless architect who wants to discard his Air-X,...
Doug: What you stated is just basic electricity principles that should be applied to define how to control the wind mills. It is just electrical loading of the...
