@aleleogori1 Any turbine is better mounted very high to catch clean wind and rooftop mounting is long known to be a bad idea for a number of reasons. Check out Scoraig winds website.
so big tower for so little wind generator. a waste of money!!!.
if i was doing this proyect, i will save the money of the tower and i place 3 wind turbines just in the roof, this place looks like has a lot of wind even in a few feets over the ground. just look the hair of the man. at least 30 MPH winds!!
this video was taken in taichung city which is located in taiwan, south of china. The man in the video is austrailian and built this wind turbine by himself.
Obviously somewhere dry and sunny (Oz?) and no razor wire or guard dogs! (can't be England then as over here the pikeys would have it away in no time) With all that sunshine photovoltaic might be a better solution.
@Renesiz Lowering on calm days is the mere overcomplication. The idea and function of a tilt over tower is for maintenance. Without it the homeowner of a wind turbine is doomed to horrendous costs of contracting a tower climber and a crane truck to lower the turbine, repair it, & reinstall. In Iowa just the cost of a crane truck is about $150 per hour from the moment the crane leaves its shop until it returns. Don't know about tower climbers. With the tiltover its free money in the pocket!
What i'd like to see is a windmill that raises itself automatically on windy days, and lowers itself again on calm days. Without that feature, hydraulic raising wont be any more than a mere overcomplication.
