This is great, showing the real time amps. Great video.I beginning to believe I would have spent my money on these and not the junk turbines I bought. This one turbine is putting out more then both of the ones I have together.
Thanks
again

Very nice blades, I like those better than the stock Wind-X ones. Probably wouldn't matter what generator it was attached to. Do those "furl" in high winds? Forums at TechLuck DOT com

Great video Buddy

LO, My Hy400 Has to deal with a fair amount of tree's in the summer and has a hard time tracking. I'm thinking a longer tail shaft and bigger tail would help. What do you think? She gets goin then flips around backwards in a good gust. I remember you or Al mentioning that the tail was a bit small so I anticipated this before I bought it. I wasn't having this problem with my DIY mill but it had a much longer tail. Also what do you think about a voltage doubler for getting power in low winds.
Oh I didn't see you made a follow up. What type of charge are you seeing? What is the wattage? It's a nice setup but a trickle charge isn't worth it. And how often do you get 30 MPH winds? Maybe in Colorado.

@xxdrewzooxx I will make more video's soon . Have seen 50 amps max in a wind storm with a 12v battery bank. Thats well over the rated watts but the manual of this turbine say's In the wind conditions I seen that amperage in I should have had the break on.

@xxdrewzooxx I do have another video with the sealed temps in a wind storm and in the same video it hits 40 amps. I do have more video's of this turbine hitting 40 amps or more and will post them soon

I am really impressed with low wind start up, I am for sure buying this for my property! we average 10 mph but I would rather get that energy than not to try at all. Thanks for sharing!
