This video is taken when windmax wind generator is on the 5.9 feet test pole and the wind is 10 mph according to weather channel. the blades performs extremely well and spinning very fast at low noise. imagine much greater performance if this wind generator is at 26 feet high !! The blade diameter is 1.4 meter or 4.9 feet. While at the same wind speed, the old style wind turbine with mechanical furling with 8.2 feet diameter blades doesn't perform, the blades barely moved. Instead, the wind generator head is turning around, which is very bad. the blades for these old style wind turbines have poor design and such low efficiency, it can't capture the power in the wind even with the larger swept area, that is the myth about these blades with larger swept area, most people would think that the blades with larger swept area always performs better than blades with smaller swept area, that is totally untrue, if the blades with larger swept area won't operate/spin efficiently as shorter blades, it can't capture the power in the wind, and it won't output energy !!

The energy output is the energy converted by the turbine blades into mechanical energy, the turbine blades need to spin in order to convert all the wind's power to mechanical power. The low effciency turbine blades don't spin or barely move, there is no energy output !!!

Rated energy output of the old style wind turbines with mechnical furling and low efficiency blades is very deceiving because the blades have such low efficiency that the larger swept area output little energy, some of the old style wind turbines with mechnical furling and low efficiency claim 1000w, 2000w or more, the actual output is much lower. This wind turbine is from Windmax Green Energy at www.magnet4less.com

  • Whats the point of this video? Seems utterly useless and devoid of information.

  • No matter what's the design or color of a wind turbine, its purpose and benefits are still the same. Wind turbines lets you generate your own electricity without charging you of anything. Yes. It's just FREE in a sense that you don't actually pay in using wind energy since the source is unlimited and is already present in our environment. Risk-free so you have nothing to worry.

  • The moment it is under load it will slow down. This is very misleading

  • I'm a proud owner of a wind max hy-400. I have tried most of the competition and wasted money. It wasn't until after I tired most of the do it your self turbines before I finally stumbled across wind max. This turbine is exactly what they say it is in the spec's and I have posted a few video's of the hy-400 12v 5 blade low wind model. I plan on putting 5-6 more of them up on my barn starting this year. Thanks wind max for a great product.

  • Wind turbines are environmentally friendly. They save electrical expenses and are economically viable. Depending on the location and the wind that one receives, the energy produced can be used to power home appliances. Many companies are working with the wind energy. One such company is the Pacific Crest Transformers. It has been partnering with the wind energy sector since 1985.
