Re: [RE-wrenches] Wind machines
Wrenches I'm sure you did all your due diligence on this location, wind rated output is generally at 25 mph and needs 5 to 7 just to produce a watt. The math is a cube root calculation. Small wind never really produced what people expected. You also need to be higher than anything around the unit and higher is better. Don't get me started on service they all need something done so make your tower easy to lower. Funtimes!

Re: [RE-wrenches] Wind machines
I agree wit most of the comments. I have tested many VAWT none were any good. i had presented my study at the MIdwest Energy Fair, showing much higher trust on the turbine's and much lower performance. I just wanted to let you know that sume no performance at all.

I’ve got a customer with a Pika still running, maybe three customers, actually… 😎 The one client made his own brush holder ! If that’s what you need, I can get you in contact with him.
