Horizontal Axis Turbine Testing

Ok,this was made 2/20/07. What I'm doing here is simple really. Just seeing how fast my turbine can go in 20+ knot wind, for the sole sake of my own amusement and my peers at the time. What your hearing is the motor for those not well addressed on this. My turbine has everything from the gearbox to the yaw device is all inside among other sensors I put inside to test everything from the wind speed to revs. per minute. The turbine tower was made, though thats a pain to carry with me all the time. The airfoils are just balsa wood, with fiber glass and epoxy coating. Would made them better if not for the coast of them.
