Wind Power Gone Wrong

When you get someone to come and install a wind turbine system for you - make sure they OVER engineer EVERYTHING about the system.
My guy didn't, and see what happened...

It LOOKS flimsy - as in "OH DUH" - why did you not grab it and flex it, and state, "I don't thing this is stiff enough, or heavy enough."

Neil the installer is a fuck-wit.

You the owner are an idiot - for NOT speaking up about it - before he put it up, and before he fucked off.

And NEVER "over-engineer anything" - just never under design it.

ask for your money back!!what kind of wind generator is it? you have to be careful!!there is a lot of fly by night wind and solar people that once they get your money you no longer exist.hit and run artist!!! very bad installation and wind generator!!tell us who did it so nobody else gets burned!!!please!!!

all towers are made to flex a bit if they dont theyll get stress and break if your worried about it add a second level or guy wires how tall is it ? what height is the guys at now ? as far as the lose looking cables guy wire are set to 10% of there breaking strength with there length factored in I got 14 year in building all kinds of towers

Looks like a good site, where in the world are you.

bad

ancorage WAY too small and into loose earth !!!!! . No mid way cable ancorages .... and what looks like a fixed pitched props , no good for the guts of the thing as it over revs . Hope you got a vari pitch one now that changes the angle of the blades automatically for optimal charging + over rev brake for them wind speeds !!!
