Thanks for the info. With the information I have received from you and a few others I will be working on some tail adjustments. As far as not yet running an...

Gentlemen, Let's all take a deep breath and remember what we love. Wind energy. This list, for some reason, has always been contentious. But along with that, a...

There is a difference between saying "that is just plain stupid" and having a conversation regarding tower heights. I find it interesting that Ian and others...
That is the whole point Hugh, nobody has done what I'm doing before. That is what sets me apart from 99% of those who would purport to have a "new type of wind...
How could you have a turbine in a very wind area, even on a 20 foot tower, that hardly ever even spins up? What is it, behind a building? Coated with...
I would love to get my hands on a 60' tower for a Jake.... I'm in Tucson and will haul it away for you... Rush Tucson AZ www.ironandwood.org ... From:...
Doug, The piece that is missing is that 20 ft towers are not in the clear wind. How can it be installed in town, with other houses around, with the high ...
Dear Doug, Perhaps we've misunderstood each other. I was making an assumption that a commercial building would use much more energy than a residential ...
Hello there , well after a two year break I am finally able to devote some time to the turbine project and a 'stopper' last time round was the coils. I have...
Notice of an AOC 15/50 50kw wind turbine for sale, located in Orland, Maine. I have a fairly large turbine available for sale - a 50kw AOC 15/50. I like to...
I'm wondering if anyone knows if turbines such as the 1kW model on Selsam's site are or could be functional at extremely cold temperatures, say, -30 to -40...
... I think the point is that short towers are just plain stupid in most locations. It is the location that this debate is about. We are talking about...
This group is a little contentious like hot peppers on your pizza - spices things up a little so they don't get boring. It seems that it has always been that...
Does anyone know where I can find a good schematic on star/delta switching? I have seen one or two but they seemed to be incompelete or too vague to follow. ...
Hi all, I was prompted by a recent post the other day where someone was asking about used wind generators. I purchased a used and damaged wind generator a few...
Hi There, Large turbines need to keep their gearbox oil warm, so that would explain the need for at least one heater. Small (as in 0..15 kW) wind turbines...
