Breezy 5.5 Wind Turbine in Action

how far are the neighbors from you? you probably were close to being visited by the township Nazi board. they'll want you to buy a permit for a 60 ft. musical instrument or make you put the singing menagerie in your pole barn for future posterity. Either way give them your POSTERIOR.

Got a quick question; what kind of generator are you using in it, and how many?

[skullgymequipment]

How much did it cost ?  The entire thing?

[blagkonijn]

I sure would like to build one myself. Generate power all day and night, connect it to the grid, and make money. Then, use some of the grid, whenever needed. Brilliant! if all would have such a system, there would be no energy problem.

But.

1)What if a blade fails. Kinda deadly.

2)How do you stop it in case of an emergency?

3)and, where did you get the generator?

4)and the electrical thingys to connect it to the grid?

5) how long would you say before a set of blade should be replaced?

The questions you have are in the book.. Buy it.. Great system..

[Vandersieves]

Swirling noise is more than likely caused by the trailing edge being slightly too thick. You would get this same type of noise if you were to swing a rope in a circle over your head. This noise can be eliminated by reducing the blade trailing edge to 1/8 and rounding. There are other causes but this is the most common.
