I have tested and been working with windpower for a long time,
to find a reliable and robust unit, to have energy from wind.
I am a retired private person.

This unit I found the best.
It has now been 3 years in my mast and producing energy
to my house.
(Self built 115m2 house. Low / zero energy house)

Now we have in Finland these units a lot.

Now you can find this "Exmork" units much cheaper from;

They sell to private persons, send E mail and ask the price list !

We have tested and made a lot of work to have this;

The climate change ?

Here in Finland it has been very windy, so windy that I have never seen
such energy coming from my windgenerator.
Oceans are warming.. ? and low pressures are coming one after another..
We have not seen snow.. and its warm here.
Our roses bloom, which normally stop blooming in august-autumn.

Normally we have snow here and under zero temperatures in october- november.

How can Christmas Santa Claus now come with reindeers and with sleigh

I wish you all Christmas magic !

From here.. from the polar night and Northern Lights !

You can see pictures about my systems and testing;

You can see my weather and windconditions, which promice now serious winds
for several days 24-29.12 2011

See the temperatures here

There has been several strong winter storms here in Finland.

Wind speeds 30-40M/s = 67 - 90 Mph (in gusts more..)

I do not remember anything like this, in my age and I am a retired person.

We had over 300 000 households without electricity and now after over
one week, we stil have over 120 000 households without electricity.
Population in Finland 5 million, so its a big number..
We were very lucky, because it was so warm, no temperaturatures under
zero, but now its getting golder and very many people have to be
leave their homes and are been evacuated from their homes..
Electric generators were sould out here in first few hours after the
first storm.

Also in our neighbour states in Sweden and in Norway there has been big
storms and catastrophes and long power failures, land slides etc

When I moved here in isolated area on retirement days, I desided to have
reserve power.
That is where I started to to find out every possibilities to that.
I desided to have own windpower and started to test and find a robust
and good unit for that.
Diesel or gasoline generator ? that is sitting in garage and producing nothing !
and when you need it, it really starts to eat your money..
Gasoline pays here now 1,70/per liter= 1 gallon= 3,78liters= 3,78X1,70=6,42Eur gal
Diesel 1,55 Eur per liter here.

Now I must say I am very lucky man.. (knock, knock.. the wood and head)
I got power from the wind and did not suffer any damage.

Biggest accident would have been that, my own all natural treasures that
I have picked from my surroundings and fished and all my own root vegetables etc
gone spoiled in freezers(which I have many here..)

My wind generator saved them all and NOTHING would have replaced them !!

It really barked its price and with no fuel costs(which my neighbour has with gasoline generator now over 400Eur

and there is no hope to have power
back at least for several days, or weeks.. !!)

Hi Antero

That is a real success story, I hope you show your neighbours your set up to encourage them to get on the band wagon.

All the best

Hi Antero,

THis is a lesson to all those naysayers,who think that we are wasting time
builing our wind turbines.They don't understand what we are trying to achieve,
and been prepared for such eventualities and to also cut our electric bill.
Well i do hope that your neighbours and others will see the need to go
alternative you have shown them why.

all the best
