Judging from the dirt color, wind, and pines, I am guessing this is NE Arizona. I have plans for 4-8 solar panels in NE AZ, and will use 6 hornet wind turbines, to live off grid, with propane, wood heat stove,and a back-up generator. I like the hornet ones because they are stronger, and smaller, and don't need to put up so high. To adjust for elevation, 6,000ft, I will be getting the 6 bladed ones instead of the 3 blade, and also lightly sanding the blades for more wind drag. Nice video!

Good gawd!
Glad you were not in the way of those blades!
If this was a side furl instead of mag. break you might still have those blades intact. Those 403's sound like a dying cow in those winds, you can probably sleep now :-)

Ouch! Makes me wonder how good carbon fiber blades are.
Yet, I would hate to see a metal blade break loose.
Good luck getting everything fixed!

i have never heard of anybody getting any power out of air 403s or air x.alot of people have told me they also have had brake problems.

yeah, that is how it is for a lot of folks. It takes strong winds to get real power, but I have pegged my 50 Amp meter a few times and see (or used to) 10-30 amps pretty regularly, but that is over 20 knots. under 15 and it is a meager harvest no matter how the graph looks. I have good wind here, which use to extend my power tool working time (or whatever) into the night a fair number of days of the year. I promise to bring it to the top of the list and get it fixed one of these days. :) .

Wow.. Sorry about that wind generator! It feels like a Florida Hurricane wind here. I'm glad you did not get stabbed. They probably would have arrested ME! HaHa????

Ha- Thats funny AM. No big loss. It only Gave around 5% or less of my charging The PV does all the work. I actually lost two blades. I will get it down and fix it if possible. The thing was sounding a little "OFF" lately and the brake wasn't working for some reason. When I had the switch off, It ran like it had a load, reving up, but not free spinning, but giving no amps to the batteries. ??? Maybe switch failure. Yeah these are SOME gusts were having today!!! Hope your machines hold together.
