I guess the same conclusions hold, right?
I mean, the actual production is way lower than the installed power...
Let’s not forget that you need a lot of wind to get any worthwhile energy out of any wind turbine. if you visit a wind farm it feels very windy even when the blades are turning quite slowly.
Maybe the answer is microgeneration and diy wind turbines? There are plenty of plans out there however it is always difficult to know how good the plan is that you may buy – price is not always a good indicator…
The best thing is to get hold of a few plans – maybe free ones – and then start to think about what type of generator you want to build. Your plan looks like a good place to start. I also prefer VAWT plans because I can build them and modify them. Maybe a simple Vertical Axis model first and then you can always build a higher efficiency model. In my view build simple first and get some power then develop and build more.. Here is a link to a site with lots of plans available some are free so worth downloading just to see th scope of a project.
Good thing that you share some reviews about this wind generator system for us to have more selection and choose the right one that sustains our needs.
It looks like a good deal at Amazon! :)
Thanks for sharing the features and specification of this low cost residential wind turbine. The wind power generator will suit the needs of homeowners who look for inexpensive options to meet their energy needs without causing any harm to the environment.
