Woww, impressive !
and what do you power with it ?
What means HAWT ?
(imagine if one blade detached, and you were on the way ...)
It is a back up system for when its stormy and no solar rays are cumming in it stores electricity in battery's.

Nice! Pic's too small to see the detail on the blade design. What generator/alternator are you using?
perhaps this will help..:o)

Impressive work captainleeward. That's one big 7-blade unit. What's the output of your turbines?
Al
The big bird one puts up to 1 kilowatt the twister about 500 watts. :O)
Very nice capainleeward! 1.5 kw of free energy is nothing to sneeze at.
Here in San Diego California our weather systems are changing now we are experiencing more windy storms than before so wind is now a good back up system.
The generator is a washing machine motor from Australia. I purchased it on E-Bay and had to rewire it for 12v dc operation. The blades are store bought but i modified them for lighter winds.
