My Small Wind Turbine

[frosty883]

Have you had any maintainance issues with this turbine?

@frosty883 probably so, look at the blades, they even have moving parts in those blades I think. if so, the blades will be wearing out or failing. turbines should be designed with as few moving parts as possible. You know what happens to moving parts, vibration, friction, wear, failure. So the best turbine designs have as few moving parts as possible, like the ones on my roof.

Useful looking turbine that,my average wind speed is 5.5m/s,how much power could that produce in a year?

@greenheadland about enough to run a snail coup for 3 months...

[keyring153]

depending on the turbine and the wind regime anywhere from 6-12000 kwh a year
