I hate to tell you and I guess someelse has 1 amp at 12 votes is 12 watts not 1000 watts but you would not expect that unles you were expending the current and had a good wind. I guess I should add at 12 votes akw would take 83 amps and that would burn out up to 6 TW wire probably could use 8 TW but not at full charge.
@SidneyBou I hate to tell you that you're either hearing things or seeing things, I never said what you claim. I clearly showed the turbines at 13.34 with 6 amps which is 80 watts, so I don't know where you think you heard me ever saying that 1 amp at 12 volts equals 1kw. Further, at full wind I know for a fact it can push 83 amps but highly unlikely because the bank would be nearly charged at 14 so my amps would be 71.5. Amps. I was an electrician for 20 years so I know a thing or two.

@MegaDeathwarrant I heard something wrong I suspose. I wouldn't figure the 1 over 12.5 of the battery as though. I would figure 12.5 at 6 amps. the litttle extra doesn't really count. (It disapears as soon as the charge is turned off.) I got what ypu said this time. I am just a technition since 65 not any more.
Here's an idea, farmers used to use wind power to pump water into water tanks raised up on towers. This stored up pressure to enable flowing water, and storage. Why don't you do the same and drive a water pump to pump the water up into a tower, and then use the water/energy stored in the raised water tower to turn a water turbine. This will enable the storage and generation of power when the wind doesn't blow hard enough.
@Nomoreidsleft Thanks for the idea but for one, water is precious resource not to be squandered and the power loss from such a design would put you in negative returns.
@econewpower Not sure about that. The water would be in a closed system, so it will be converved, and power loss due to battery self-discharge would be higher than moving the water up to a higher potential, where the energy is conserved almost indefinitely. (Again the water is in a closed system.)
@Nomoreidsleft The wind power required to move the water and store it high to create sufficient water column will surely be higher than the amount of power the water will supply later. Additionally, the engineering and costs required for the tank, plumbing, modifying the turbine to use both wind and water (that would be a nightmare) would make this project a no go in my mind. Which is probably why I've never seen anyone do it. It's a good thought, just no practical in my estimation. Thanks
One turbine could be enough if it is 3Kw or larger and if you have average steady winds of more than 20 miles an hour, otherwise count on needing several. You can power anything you want as long as you have a battery bank, sufficient turbine output to keep the batteries charged, anjd a good inverter capable of supplying 240 VAC output. Look at the diagram I have posted and listen to the audio as it tells you all you need. God bless you and good luck. with your project.
Have a chance at a windmax fora good price what wlse is neede to run this will it supply poer for a residential use I also have a 230 air compressor in my home garage how do I start .
Payback for a simple setup of a grid tie inverter and a couple of batteries to feed it would be less than 5 years. I'd expect the turbine to last me 20 years and the batteries maybe 5 to 7 years.
How long do you think it would take to pay back for all the materials? I could see you being able to install these for residential and small business customers. I bet you could make a good business out of it especially as energy/electricity prices rise. Thanks for posting this on YouTube so people can learn and be inspired by your project. Millions of people will get off the grid and break the stranglehold that energy companies have on us. The use of wind power is going to GROW!!! It's clean!!!
12v . If I get those 24v grid tie inverter's I will just buck boost the power up from 12v to the 24 for the inverter. I will loose anywhere from 8-12% of the energy in heat but I like the 12v system . I don't have long runs of wire and I can get more amp hour bank for less cost with 12v. Your video's are great and are pretty much the reason I'm trying the windmax. Thanks for your help :)
Good Job, I see you have grid tied inverters, they require 14 - 28 volts right? But you are charging at 12 volts? I am asking because I have almost the same set up and trying to maximize the charging. Thanks
Did you buy your wind max on ebay? I saw them there 600 watters and 1200 also and 650 too. It does have nice bearings on it turns in little wind plus the fact that there are 5 blades on there compared to 2 or 3 easier start up at low wind.
@bg0821 Yes, I agree. I bought one directly from their website and one off eBay because the had posted it there for about $100 less than what they had on their website. Good luck and let us see your project you get it started.
I did not make too many calculations whit my wind turbine because I do not rely on it that much since there is not to much wind in my area were I live. However ,I wanted a hybdrid system whit the most electricity to come from the photovoltaic pannels. I am waiting to install the second turbine to see haw it works
@marcu2001 Your thinking is right on Marcu, hybrid is definitely the way to go. Here in Texas we get great windy days in winter with overcast skies and still days on summer with great sun for many hours. So hybrid allows me to always have good power from one or the other. Thanks for sharing!

WORLD RECORD: BIGGEST WIND TURBINE
Visit: windturbinecarriedbywheels.weebly.com
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.

Have you considered using a Ram Pump instead? This only requires gravity to make the system pump water- no electrical assistance required.
