... Perhaps too much intellectual clout gets in the way of noticing that the energy density on such sites is typically low. OK maybe it would work under a...
Hello everyone, I'm new over here. I am somewhat new in the area of windmills. My background is physics and electrical engineering. I am currently building a...
HI ALL, I'm new to "wind", just about finished building my first gen, its madea from a PM stepper motor, with the help of blades from Terry Galyon, also just...

Senyo, If your tower is made from hot-dip galvanized steel, you shouldn't have to have any additional cathodic protection. All the fasteners also have to be...
Hey!! Great group! Im trying to start a wind generator project. Ive done a little studying on the net, and found the way to go seems to be with a pm motor. I...

Hi Folks, What do you think of the Mallard 600E turbine? http://www.mikeswindmillshop.com Regards, Senyo. Ps. Anybody knows what the rated wind speeds are? ...
New to this forum, but great interest. I heat my 3500 sq. ft. home with electricity. If I were concerned with mostly saving money on my electric bill, would it...

Yes, but the point is that MOST of the US population is located in urban/suburban areas where towers (tall or short) will never be allowed, and were turbulence...
Hiro, While this is true for some turbines in the range you mention, it certainly doesn't have to be that way as a matter of course. You might take a look at...
Possibly, but define "well enough". As Hugh says, a 5% efficiency capability isn't going to convince the typical (if such a thing exists) homeowner to choose...

Matt, Based on the manufacturer's plots from the link you provided, I don't see an enormous relative improvement in low-speed capability. The Kestrel 1000...
The "market", in my experience, is a pretty fickle place that doesn't reward poor performance in much of anything. If companies like Aerotecture can figure out...

Let the market define "well-enough".and in time, someone WILL capture it - maybe the folks at AEROTECTURE, maybe someone else. But, since NO ONE in this group...

Hi Richard, We could also try to design a solar collector to work OK in shade, but it would also be a waste of time, effort, expectations, and money. Some...
Hi, I've built an axial flux 120 V PMA wind turbine, between 2-4 KW, which I want to use to heat water. I'd like to use the 3 phase Wild AC output from the...

Marty, There's only so much raw energy available in a 10 MPH breeze, so don't expect any technology to be able to make "enormous"; leaps of output. Since the...
Excellent point Jim. The amount of purely wasted energy in the US is staggering! A few years ago, someone came out with a study that showed the entire...

What I was pointing out was that there is nothing special about the Kestrel. It doesn't do any better in low winds than other turbines with peak ratings in...
Bit of a ramble this, but I think it is vaguely on topic. I have recently been traveling around the country with the National Energy Foundation demonstrating...
