Finally raising the 10 foot homebrew wind turbne up on the 60 foot pole tower. 3 1/2 inch pipe with 3/8 inch cable guy wires and 2 1/2 x 3 x 3 foot concrete anchors x4. Thank the Lord it went up without a hitch. Now putting out 780watts in a 25 mph wind (right at furling speed). Been working on it for 5 months and its good to see it fly up where its supposed to be...now we'll see how it weathers the spring storms.

  • Great Job on both the wind turbine and video! I will be raising mine in a few weeks and will use your video both as an inspiration and training tool for my crew to do the job safely! BTW I visited Dan Bartman (coAuthor of your Homebrew Wind Power) met George and looked over their operation (real cool).
