Hi Jeff, Much appreciate the 13 blade Renegrade spinning in very low wind velocity.
My understanding is be it 3 or 13 blades what is the purpose if you do NOT show Technical data on the correlation of wind speed in generating electrical output ie; watts per speed of the wind to the max, does it compare with the other two generators.Ashley;Toronto; afranc0452@yahoo.ca

very nice!

Hi Jeff, any chance in doing a video with the 5 Mandalay blades on the Renegade?

nice video i like 13 blade i would like to have 1

question?
the cable from the wind turbine can scarmble in the tube pole???

Jeff you need to do a 16 blade it will do even better ,I have been doin 16 blades on my homemade geared gens for about 2 years now and have built them with 32 blades.It's good to see how well they do work ,when everyone else seemed to think it wouldn't help generator more power but it does ,even on a homemade rig as mine.Good showing I luv it

@losttreasurehunt Believe it or not the 13 blade does very well , better than i had thought it would. 16 blades would work for gear driven turbines, thinking outside the box is what i like to do. Engineers are always knocking more than 3 blades , BUT, most of them you talk to don't own a wind turbine, actually non of them i have talked to own a wind turbine. If it doesnt work on paper then how could it possibly work at all they ask.
Build something sometime i reply.

yes but the crucial question, how much power does it convert at 2mph? I suspect that it would be very small, so we are more interested in the large power gains at high wind speeds, and hence the optimal 3 blade design for most locations.

@richiesvideo 3 large blades are not always the answer. They have problems with not being able to handle high wind and have to furl or be shut down. The 13 Raptor Generation 4 blades can withstand 125 mph winds. They have alot of torque, low wind startup and can do high speed.They have there purpose and so do the larger 3 blades.There is,nt any power in 2 mph wind for any blade, the video is just showing that once the 13 start running with a gust of wind you won't need another gust to run.
