@goose2goose2 I know about your turbine, we have emailed each other in the past. Did they ever replace yours as they said or give you back your money? I hope they stay in Thailand, those SOB's. It is companys like this that are doing more to detract from renewables than help it along.
OMG!!! I just did a Google on this and the suggested retail is $17,000 US. For this price the unit should be perfect no defects at all! It should have at least a 10 year warranty short of that, you need a lawyer that has a REAL wessel or wolverine attitude when working for his clients.
@Nichen You are right, it shouldn't sound like that, but is does. I met another Helix Wind owner and she had the same problem. I think it is a bad design and they won't fix it. Just stall stall stall.
Ask to the company install bearings, as I can see, the shaft is directly mounted on the base, or install autolubricated bush bearings, in my opinion two conicals bearing mounted in oposition will be perfect
Yea isn't that just great. Helix Wind tried since last September to quite it down with no success. I have had it with them, I just want my investment back but they will not give it back.

ZERO-NOISE from gears and generators since they're sealed underground.
SAVES THE BIRDS AND BATS since the turbines are slow-moving.
DOES NOT NEED TO OCCUPY A WIDER LANDSCAPE since the turbine can be very tall.
MAY BE LOWER-COST since it can use parts of junked trucks and others.
ELUDES HURRICANE FORCE since the blades automatically close.
HELPS THE WIND ENERGY COMPANIES since it is FREE FOR ALL.

ZERO-NOISE from the gears and the generators because they are sealed underground (Only the outer parts of the turbines may be heard.).
SAVES THE BIRDS AND BATS because the turbines are slow-moving since the speed is in the transmission gears and in the generators.

@dillj34555 do you think it would help???
pappaw50 1 year ago
@pappaw50 it might. lubrication of some kind is generally a good idea
dillj34555 1 year ago
@dillj34555 The unit is lubricated with Helix Wind special lubricant. It is the only lubricant allowed or the warrantee is void.

how can you tell that this was installed wrong? We just had one put in and despite 20-25mph winds it barely spun.

@abartkow I was there during the installation. after the install it would not turn and the installer said he screwed up.

It sounds like a train in your yard, but at least the noise stops when the wind stops blowing.
