Quoting jim via EV <[email protected]>:
Charging my Tesla using PV/wind energy should be on topic. I tried not
to digress and get off topic. Again, I say thanks for answering my
questions. I have worked with wind power since 1970 so I was aware of
and agree with everything in Mr Erdman's post. I appreciate receiving
the information on boost converters...Ron Solberg
The 1800 watt Jacobs didn't make more power than the 2500 or 2800
models. They all had the same blade and governor assembly (which
may have been either flyball or blade controlled) so they put out
the same power in the same windspeed up to a point, but the 1800 was
a shorter machine (length of armature) and its maximum amp output
was about 45 amps, while the 2500 maxed at 60+ amps and the 2800 at
a bit more--but it took a slightly stronger wind for the bigger
machines to reach maximum output.
The Bergeys and most other modern machines are actually 3-phase,
rather than brush type DC generators like the Jacobs, and their
power characteristics and method of control are quite
different.Don't forgeet th basic rule of thumb when siting a wind
turbine "30 feet higher than anything within 500 feet". A 48 foot
tower isn't tall enough if it will be near buildings or trees. I
hope you are installing them on a grassy hilltop with good wind.

Quoting Lee Hart via EV <[email protected]>:
Having heard that the vintage Jacobs 1800 watt made more power than
the 2800 watt plant, I am considering putting up one of each. There is
a lot of 10 mph wind and I expect inertia might be a factor. I have
two 48 ft towers next to each other. I could see how each one did
charging the L16 battery. If I get it done I will try to share the
results. I am excited about possibly powering our Tesla with a
combination of PV and wind. Thanks to you all for your help...Ron
