Re: a decent wind turbine for the money 27 Aug 2013 | 07:59 am
You will find that the wind coming off the roof of any structure will be turbulent not smooth the only way to get a smooth laminar flow would be to get 30 to 40 feet above the structures. That said ....

Typically,in previous Honda Hybrids,the 12V battery is only used to power the ECU/BCM/ignition,etc,and the engine was actually started from the big 3-phase IMA motor/generator. Unless the IMA battery ...

That utility pole mount got me thinking now, maybe it's not as good as I thought. This is a 7" diameter pole that used to hold a 240VAC drop line only. Another pole with a transformer on it is a 9" p...

Hi, great idea and great work. I could never cast a stator larger than 10 inch OD. I look forward to seeing the rotors.

Looks really nice so far.
Re: What do you think of this? 26 Aug 2013 | 11:42 pm
An interesting project, and as an offset for the variability of WT power, it's a new take on an old idea. If you look up the Adam Beck power station near St Catherines, you'll read about the damming,...
Re: Tower capabilities? 26 Aug 2013 | 09:29 am
Sounds like a very good starting point, and I also think guy wires will be necessary. In all lattice towers, it's the compressive stability of the legs that counts. Take the worst-case scenario and ...
