Well the wall is 14 feet high to the beginning of the gable. And I have a set of 14-foot diameter blades (7-foot) from a Whisper 175 here. So I figure I could...

Thanks Glen How many feet above the attachment points did your Rohn tower/stub tower setup extend? Sounds like you had 2 Rohn 10-foot sections, with a 10-foot...
ADD some calculations to determine what is needed to avoid " folding" the tower just above the attachments points . Guessing strength of the tower is most of...
Looking for experience with Aurora wind GTIs. Are they robust? Also looking for a small one, used preferred, but running and in good condition for plug and...
Hi All, I am updating my list of small wind turbines installed in Iowa and I would appreciate anyone who is willing to share their annual production from this...
Here's an idea. I've put up about 6 or 8 50/60m meteorological towers. They're guyed, of course. We found a local pole-line contractor with a utility truck....

Absolutely excellent and congratulations on your purchase. The Second AWEA Conference was held in 1975 at the Windcharger Corporation headquarters in Sioux...
Hi Dave, Congratulations for your wind charger ! IMO your wind turbine will be much more enjoyable if it flies for everyone than in a museum glass case. There...
Wow Dave, we have an old ~6-foot diameter(?) Wincharger in an ancient shed at one of our test facilities in the desert of Southern California, dating back to...
Dave, congratulations on your purchase! Would be sad to see such an awesome old turbine sitting in a museum. I'd say well worth the restoration. It's possible...
Yo Wuddup Dan: These ancient machines have a couple of wind scoops in the center-front, that deploy centrifugally. They look like a rack to store a rolled-up...
Yeah, we salvaged one with the scoops, built a PMA for it, and kept the original blades and tail. It's not particular noisy when the scoops deploy, but I think...
Apologies for the late response on heat pumps, but for what it's worth ... We've been using an air-to-water heat pump for the last 2-1/2 heating seasons in...
And more yet on ASHP vs GSHP ... Sorry if this is old news. Agreed of course that GSHPs will be more efficient when temps fall below the ground temp. However,...

Okay, Mike figured out what I was doing wrong and this should work. Thanks much to Mike. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply. I probably should...

Hi all. I've been lurking since maybe 14 years. We have been the distributor of the KISS wind generator (primarily made for boats), made in Trinidad, WI, but...
Thanks for the input Frank. A real classic! The Delco Farm Light was a great system that would have come to predominate in rural areas if not for the REA. The...
Persistence pays off. I found a repair shop far removed from here that did not balk at rewinding a brushed DC generator and they agreed to rewind it for 48...
Hi all, I just purchased a 2004 Gridtek-10 inverter for $300. The lcd screen is giving me some slight issues. The screen seems to display partial information,...
