  • Sorry, cant paste the link, search for Dew Catcher 1

    Go to pachube.com/feeds/40318

    Here you can view real live data off the Dew Catcher turbine

  • Regarding the question on windspeed during filming, it was barely 4.2M/sec (13kmph or 8mph). This is not our best site, have a look at:

    The DUC machine produces good power, to date it has peaked at it's specified 10KW. During the week of COP17, it produced close to 1MWH of clean energy!

  • Hi guys, thanks for your interest. This was our first 10kw installation, and in fact proved to be not so great, with predominently lightish winds. The generation unit is simply a grid-tied, geared-up induction motor, synchronous speed (1500 motor rpm= 54 rpm on the rotor shaft). It's simple, increase the rpm of the rotor above syncronous speed and the motor acts as a generator. Below synch. speed, the unit is disconnected from mains.

    Wings are intellectual property, sorry.

  • looks lik a high speed unit. Do you know anything about the wings or gen?

  • Excellent! What speed of wind was during the filming of this video?
