Hi folks. There appears to be quite a demand for people wanting to hear my thought processes on why I chose the Proven WT2500 as my own wind machine. There...
I am interested in any info regarding this subject. My wife and I intend to move North of Toronto (aprox. 200km) and the house we are looking to buy has no...
We can all agree that when a wind turbine is operating, the wind, to some effect, is trying to knock the tower over as well as knock the machine off the tower....
Hi All, Just thought I'd report on my trip up to our Whisper 1000 this morning, since I'd mentioned earlier that it has been making noise. As I guessed, the...
Hello, The list is very quiet...I´ll put this question at least to check it still works. :-) Does anyone have experience w/ ceiling fan laminations for PMG ...
Hello from NE Wisconsin: I have an e-mail message from a fellow from Taiwan who is seeking a large quantity of very small wind turbines that are designed for...

I borrowed what I thought was a Calibrated Anemometer to set my homebrew anemometer, only to find that the borrowed unit was a CF/m flow meter used for air...
I don't think you can do it in even two pages. And what do you mean by "all of the participants"? As you can see by the traffic on this list, there are a lot...
