Get a silencer on that exhuast!

Nice setup though.

Have you thought of fitting a forced draft system? You may find the fuel burns cleaner then, thus getting more energy out of it - hopefully more than is required to power the fan.

This is so cool! Can you do anything with the steam once you've made power with it?

You could. You could run a sterling engine off it, or use the steam for district heating. Of course, since they don't run it often the district heating probably isn't worth it. And it produces more power than they need, so it's not worth harnessing the extra power output -- except to save wood.

Hi, Nice setup and I like what you are doing with the wind turbines as well. Could I get you to share with me where you source your N40 grade NdFeB magnets that are 1 1/2" X 3" X 3/4"? Thanks in advance!
