@crsbt - The turbine needs a totally clean air path around it to work well. Trees, roof tops and such within about 200 meters, will just kill wind production. In areas with out constant strong winds, solar is a more effective option.
@crsbt - My weather station is a La Crosse Technologies WS-1613 Professional Weather Center with Wireless Transmitter and Receiver. It runs about $150.00 normally but I got it on Sale for $85.00. Works well but does not have a computer interface for collecting data so I have to enter it manually. National Geographic has a model simular in functions with a computer interface for $150.00. Next time I will go for somthing like that.
@arena123ish - The system runs my 16 - 11 volt deck lights, 2 strings of 100 LCD patio lights for a few hours at night, electronic bug zapper all day, charges all my rechargable tools, flashlights, camera batteries and has lots of power left available for runing small tools like my drill and weed wacker when needed. It will charge a car battery with no problem at all!

would that power anything? like.. all the lights in ur household, OR the teaboiler and radio or cd player and blender and so on..? whould it still be 4-6 amps or would it be triple that? i find those terms so confusing..
i just know my laptop need something like 18 or 19 volt to work, nothing above or below
what would 3 of those turbines cut off your energy bill btw? if u used most of its produced electricity, how much money would u save out?
cool are they a good turbine? i brought one after hearing good things about them ,then heard nightmare storys about them, low output ,breaking down all the time.i havnt put it up yet still to find out what the city council will say.
I have 2 installed, one in the city on a residential lot and one in the country on a hill in the wide open. The one in the country with nice constant wind, runs almost continually and generates a lot of power, powering two submersiable water pumps all day long. The one on the city, which has inconsistant and very turbulant wind generates very little compared to the other. Two identical turbines, in very different locations will generate very different energy outputs. Going Green is Good!
Thank you for your comments. I got the anemometer for Christmas and because of all the snow and cold weather, its as high as I could safely reach. Its within 8 feet of the wind turbine and it measures reasonabily close to the speed of the wind at the Turbine. I will be moving the anemometer higher when the weather warms up to get an even more accurate reading.
Great info thanks

yeah i agree,wanted to try my hand at a turbine but wont be buying another.

@crsbt - Turbines are much more interesting to watch when they are working then solar panels! lol!

what kind of weather station do you have connected to the pole?
was looking at some on ebay and there expensive.

if you reduce the oscillation of tower(Use Guy wires) you will be able to generate more electricity.

hi it would be nice to see inverter/battery in your video so people might understand a bit more. good thow

I have the Air-X connected to batteries and a 1500w inverter. The inverter converts the 12VDC to 110VAC.

how many home appliances can u power with that?

what if you have 3, and you bind em together?
would that power anything? like.. all the lights in ur household, OR the teaboiler and radio or cd player and blender and so on..? whould it still be 4-6 amps or would it be triple that? i find those terms so confusing..

3 together would in therory triple the output. In reallity it depends on the actual wind conditions on each turbine.

If you have the room and bilaws permit, a bigger turbine makes sence.

Well presented video ! looks nice, might wanna mount the anemometer alittle higher to get a more accurate reading at the hub height

Spring finally has arrived and I moved the anemometer closer to the hub, its now within 2 feet of the turbine and getting better wind speed readings.
