My Apollo T-80 logs everything for me. My old C-60 would keep track of what you got in a day or when you reset the log part and gave you a running log from the...
Hi, Ok I see that here. http://www.wholesalesolar.com/products.folder/controller-folder/ApolloT80.ht ml That looks very nice that it does all the work...
Yout t-80 will track what your wind gen puts out, but not any other sources of charging. I use the trimetric to monitor everything in and out of my batteries,...
I have been using the unit at this site: http://www.paktrakr.com/. It monitors your battery usage by tracking current in and out arther than the voltage. It is...
does it just monitor amps, or does it track amp hours? hall effect, huh? hmm... sounds easier than shunts. Steve Spence http://www.green-trust.org Sign up for...
What kind of batteries do you have? most should never get over 14.4 volts during charging. the trimetric from bogart can do up to 48 volts with a adapter. ...
... It is, take a look at the Tamura part at http://www.tamuracorp.com/clientuploads/pdfs/engineeringdocs/L01ZXXXS05.pdf, about $15-$20, good for up to 600...

I have semi batteries :) I get them for $10.00 and then recondition them. They pack a punch for power. I a going to load test them to compare them to my golf...
Hi kirk and All, ... This an electronic version of a contactor controller it seems. I think they are wrong as they still need full voltage Fets or IGBTs . But...
I am interested in assessing the wind energy potential at a remote site. Any suggestions of wind speed monitoring/logging equipment folks have used that is...
... Not exactly, but take a look at http://www.newark.com/lascar and see if their USB data loggers will help. That with a PM anemometer would be pretty good. ...

A AIR X makes a nice wind monitor and a ah meter like the pentametric will let you do data logging. http://www.bogartengineering.com/pentametric.htm Steve...
So if a Sunny Boy inverter enables an ARE 442 to be grid tied, what is different about an axial flux, Piggott-style turbine that keeps a Sunny Boy from...
I don't have an answer for you on that question. Steve Spence http://www.green-trust.org Sign up for our newsletter at http://www.green-trust.org/newsletter/...
Well, here's part 2 of my question: If the Sunny Boy works with the ARE 442, what is different about the axial flux turbine (relatice to the ARE442) that makes...
Hi All, I am a new member to the group. I have run my 10 ft diameter 12 volt axial flux wind genny for about 3 months. Everyday I have a nice breeze that...
Hi Charlie --- The ARE 442 for non-islanding (no battery bank) grid tie uses an SMA WindyBoy, not a SunnyBoy. These inverters don't even turn on until they...
Transformers are designed for specific frequencies, and tend to overheat when used above or below those frequencies. Any 50/60Hz transformers you use would...
It's simpler and more efficient to wire the axial flux for the voltage you need, instead of trying to step it up with an add on transformer. Steve Spence ...
What is a small island that depends on diesel for electricity and fresh water to do when emerging super economies can outbid for every available drop of oil?...
Gathering bits and pieces here to build my first smallish prototype AF alternator (will bring it to full scale this fall after our move down south). Is there...
35 turns of dual 14g, with 9 coils and 12 magnets will output approximately 1000 watts (12vdc) at 650 rpm. 72 turns of single 14g will output the same wattage...
Steve, are you really expecting $10/gal here in the States? A small island economy is one thing, but it at least lends itself to alt E. What about rural...
Hello Steve Is this to say also that 18 coils and 24 magnets would be 2000wt/24vt/650 rpm at 144 dual or 48 volt at 144 single? And therefore be around 1000...
