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.

Thanks capainleeward! I've added your Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine to our Generators category, as well as to your builder page: capainleeward's Homemade Tools. Your receipt:

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.

Hi Capt. Leeward

It is very nice, both your HAWT & VAWT. I am opting for a VAWT design, as i wish to mount it on our house roof and both sides of my home, there are taller apartment blocks, so i would be able to get wind only from south or north and eash & west are blocked. I understand from various posts that VAWT is ideal, for such kind of situations. Though, I have front and back yards large enough for putting up a HAWT, it would be at much lower height than my second level roof, and trees in my own garden would not allow much wind to freely flow at ground level mounting.

I thought of building the turbine myself with PMs but to begin with i would use a bought out one, depending upon the energy generated and other feedback i gather on my system I would further tweak it for higher output etc

Thanks once again
