There are other 'low wind' style fans we can put up, but they're expensive as hell and not even worth the cost. Plus, the cost of the windmill is only 1/3 the cost, you know that, right? It could be just 25% of the total cost.

Re: Wind Generators?
I was doing some research on youtube.com and found bunches of generators only 20' and shorter. Check out these links..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVjGe...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNlE6u4rPxs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVjGe...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZFcV...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITXqF...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7uUh...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrlC6...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf-yX...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXU-e...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2bxg...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXiy1kKnr2c&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ45G...eature=related I found a generator on ebay.com for $60.50 that is strong enough to recharge a 12 volt battery. http://cgi.ebay.com/New-40-watt-mini...item439d2a71ad I thought I might hookup a few of these with a few batteries and use a DC to AC invertor to run a TV or computer. Since our ice storm I thought I might try a few things. I live on top of a hill and on a calm day the air is moving 5 MPH, on an average day it is about 15 MPH. I bought instructions on ebay, if any of you are interested I can email you these same instructions.. |
