I must have watched over 1000 YouTube vids so far in getting up to speed on wind turbines. Here is one posted today that was rather cool. Shows you what starting blades vs. flying blades can be like!

I know it's not to be found on the "purist's" to-do list, but maybe a go-cart clutch attached ahead of the load would help out the meager starting power. A clutch might be easier to add than carving another set of blades.

Thanks for the video post; I liked it and even left a thumbs-up on the guy's Youtube site.
