Small Wind Generator Power Charts

USE HD MODE! A summary of power charts for 11 complete small wind turbine systems. With this vid you can compare them to each other to help you make a decision on which one suits your needs and your budget.

Only systems that have published and verified power curves (watts into a battery vs. windspeed) were considered.

Here are the links IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER for the systems discussed:

how about V.A.W.T. systems?

[Fearlessthinker]

@davidrrrd Though they are interesting, there are very few on the market and none seem to produce anywhere near the power of the ones I've covered above so I don't plan to study them further. Thanks for the comment.

[MrSciencePHD]

Thank you. This is just what the market needs - honest analysis. So much crap out there, especially on Ebay. We learned our lesson with 2 turbines from Missouri. They not only never produced more than 100w, they didn't last a year. The kids in my class fell for the hype. Expensive lesson. We will now only look at those with power charts, ones with 3-phase output, and those with 3 metal blades.  We'll likely go with a Windy Nation. One of my students pointed me to your channel. A+ !

very well presented, this should be very helpful to many.

thanks for taking the time

I will stick with solar for $700 I can have consistent power all day and not wait for a 20mph wind. Thanks for the time you spend doing this for us.

Wow thanks for doing all the research for us this is really going to be helpful when making a decision on which one to purchase.
