My windgenerator has worked very good and produced energy.
It has worked without any faults over 5 years now.
Several storms.. windspeeds over 34-36M/s = 71 - 76 Mph
Last new year here was the storm of the century; 42M/s = 93 Mph

It is; http://www.huayaturbine.com/

model 2,5kw.

price now 600-700$.

Earlier this windgenerator is mentioned Exmork, but Exmork is
not the factory, but sales company..

You can find my writing and experiences about all this, with
technical detail pictures;

So.. if you REALLY want to make your own energy and have
a robust machine to produce it.
Here IT is.

We have allso several 5Kw models here and they worked and produced
energy for warming very good.

We have developed a simple and cheap warming controller,
to suite in every place.. even in North Pole and Canada and
also in here Lapland, where Santa Claus lives..
where they bring heating oil, with aeroplane..

and in the wintertime there REALLY is windy..;

So.. I hope You all very good winds and better times for all of uss

Here is a picture I took few years back.
Swallows really like the windgenerator..

They keep meetings in autumn and wait for the right
northern good winds, to move to the south with the
the power of the wind for free.

It would be very interesting, to hear how your windgenerators
will work

It has been very windy here in november and average energy production
with windpower has been 15-45Kwh per day.
All my energy need is covered with this.
I live in a small self built low energy house.
All my lights are Led etc
All the windpower I load to my batteries 2000Ah 24V NICAD.

PS.
There are not very many good news, nowadays..

This is good news !
Wind-and solarpower are in a huge rise, all over the world;

Hi, that is great picture of the birds. How high is turbine mast? Have you had any bird strikes?

Windtricker, where did you purchase your PMA?

just because your a GURU or forum administer does not mean your always correct :)

Some pictures of lifting the mast with winch.
My mast is 18M = 59 ft.
I have not seen any bird strikes.
They fly in dense forest, full speed without any collisions

PS.
I noticed that Film asked, if I get some comission..
I do not get any comission, or any benefit, by writing about windgenerators
are they from any country.
I am a retired private person and my ONLY coal, is to find solutions for this.

Anteror,

Good to see a couple of "NEW" shots of your set up and its a nice looking tower and gin pole set-up you have put together , is the tower bought , or did you build it?
Thats good that you are not on commission but also remember people do like to build as well and I think from memory your last thread like this went that way, may-be you could show what areas you had to repair and modify and what problems you have had , as with anything from China its usually not finished to a high degree and there is always quite a few areas that are over looked .

I sent them an email asking for a quote .... but no reply ?

Fillm;

My mast is from universal steel pipe 140mm=5,5 Inch and thicknes 4mm=0,16 inch.
Partly self made and partly by local metalman.
It is made from 6X3m=9,8Ft sections with flanges, so that one man could
carry them and install.
Very cheap, because I "found" the steel pipe almost for free.

I have not done anything else to windgenerator, than painted the blades
with 2 component special paint, to make sure watermolecyles do not get
inside the blade. In Finland we have very harsh climate..

After that it has been running for over 5 years now.
No faults.
I have lowered the mast few times after severe storms, to inspect
blades, the bolts and their tension etc
No faults.

It was dead calm 2 days, which is very unusual here.

But the batteries had enough energy..

Now began easterly strong wind and batteries are loading 25-60Amps
all the time, with the power from the wind

Edit later; now the power is raising.
60-150Amps.. so my system added more heating power.
I can load heating power to the floor.
As the weather forecast shows now, I can store heat in the floor
for several days, with high winds.
My floor is built with concrete and is 30-40Cm.
It can store a LOT of energy !

Yoy can see my weather condititions here;
http://ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/saa/Kustavi

Tuuli= means.. wind.
Windspeed is m/s.

I have measured during the years, that my house needs
just 500W continous warming energy and the average temperature
here in the wintertime is -5-20C, very cold..

115m2 and low energy house, for us old retired crows, me and my wife.
We left our house to our doughter and we moved here in the countryside
and built this low energy house by ourselves.

Most part of the energy goes to our freezers, because we
pick most part of our food; mushrooms, berries.
We also fish and crow our own food.

When we moved here, it was clear, that we pick also our energy
from wind and solar.

Quality of life, in food and energy yield, independent and non-polluting.

It has always been a subject of great wonderment, that we do not
use the power of the wind.
AND have not cheap and everyman windgenerators to collect it ?
This is why I started my testing and seaching for this.

This unit, that I have now and which I have written in this
forum, is just that, that I wanted to found !

You can buy diesel or gasoline aggregate very cheap,
but the windgenerators cost price of a car

In the Wild West.. in a century ago they used wind power,
and IN FACT west was conquered and tamed, with the power of the WIND.
Manufacturers hundreds and you could order one and get delivered
with horse-drawn mail wagon, to every position on the prairies.

We, all, need now and HERE, this frontiersman spirit..
in a new and updated way, in this time..

It has started and NOBODY else will save us, than WE ourselves.

WE, all private people and our solutions and our investments.
We are the only ones, that can make pressure, to make the change !

That, really is IS ALL.. we have, or do you belive, that our
politicians and decision-makers, are going to do something

Again.. good news;

http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/article/2012/11 /now-re-elected-president-obama-should-examine-us-renewable- rank

Good winds of the change, are blowing.

Our main media channel in TV and internet and other news, YLE Finland
interviewed me and published, in their website this news;

http://translate.google.fi/translate?sl=fi&tl=en&js=n&prev=_ t&hl=fi&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fyle.fi%2Fuut iset%2Ftuulivoimalan_omistaja_iloitsee_talvimyrskysta%2F6398 851&act=url

You should.. also bee rebels, as I'm still in my old age.

SENIOR REBEL

We have again.. a really serious and powerful winter storm, going on here 30.11-12

Here you can find, how serious;

http://translate.google.fi/translate?sl=fi&tl=en&js=n&prev=_ t&hl=fi&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.iltasano mat.fi%2Fkotimaa%2Fart-1288520419884.html&act=url

My windgenerator made a new regord now 30.11-12, 68 Kwh in a day.

I have reserve power and energy with plenty of overproduction, now.
I use it to heat my floor and I have got over 300Kwh in a week,
from "overproduction", that is, when the batteries are fully charged.

There is again.. over 40 000 people without power, that is a lot
in here and this number has been given, from power companies.. !

I looked a documentary series from a satellite channel.

In USA there has been 100-150 serious and destructive tornados and
storms, in average ..
BUT in 2011 there was over 600.

Wind power and solar power are the cheapest energy sources in this world
in more ways..., that people now understand at all

Here is a good article on that, with a lot of graph and research;

It has been very windy here in december.
My windgenerator has worked good in all snowstorms and in
harsh conditions, as it has, for ower five years now.

I prepared all the cristmas foods, with the power from the wind

I have electric stove, which I have connected to use 1 phase
240V and as I have mentioned, I have two 3000W inverters.

Batteries are all the time full and energy is coming in..

Here is a picture, how I did energy, before..

having windpower;

Good winds and windy.. New year !

Antero,
You`ve evolved from the cave to modern power in a few years, you`ll be off to the stars in another couple of years.

How high is your tower(it looks 20m or more) and how do you raise it and lower it?

We come from the land downunder.

Hi Antero,
First great to see your making good power out of those turbines but in that pic I'm sure the 2 on the left are Pat and Micks grandad and the bearded one really looks like SA Shauns grandad.

Anyway heard from Shaun and he promised to put the leprechauns onto Phill's turbine as he said man you Ozzies are making me jealous so I gotta so something done and Murphy is a hard guy to deal with.........

It has been very sunny here, but also very windy, so my hybrid system working
very well..
In march I got from my solar panels 2750 W, here in Finland 569Kwh.
Here is a place, near me, where they have 3,7 kw panels, but in different angels, in
tree same power groups;

http://translate.google.fi/translate?sl=fi&tl=en&js=n&prev=_ t&hl=fi&ie=UTF-8&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsolaroibs.tp.samk.fi% 2Fsolarforum%2Fdata%2Fview%2Fsamk%2F2013%2F3%23chartWrapper& act=url

My all panels are are in deep angle, 60, and are producing very good and snow
is smelting and drops almost by itself in this angle.
Cold weather and cold.. wind are helping to get the maximum power from the panels.
Also the snow, which helps to get get more radiation, from the sun.
Superwhite ice surrounding !

You can see the differnce, daily, month, etc here in Finland;

http://www.sunnyportal.com/Templates/PublicPageOverview.aspx ?page=3e8fa984-0ea1-47ec-ae5b-7e992b2cf033&plant=fe159cbf-cc d4-4351-86b6-b8673bd70563&splang=en-GB

My Exmork, which in reality is Huayaturbine, who really manufacture all these,
has worked fine and produced in our Polar nights, all needed energy 24/7.
They allso sel these much cheeper, nowadays.

My "Exmork" has worked almost 6 years now and without any faults.

Here is a news, from our main news channel;

http://translate.google.fi/translate?sl=fi&tl=en&js=n&prev=_ t&hl=fi&ie=UTF-8&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fyle.fi%2Fuutiset%2Ftu ulivoimalan_omistaja_iloitsee_talvimyrskysta%2F6398851&act=u rl

Picture from my solar panels, must be in highest place and in deep angle, to
get energy;

No, I do not use anykindof controller, no in to the wind, no to the solar.
Solar power connected directly to the batteries and wind power with own made
heavy duty bolt diod three-phase rectifiers.

My batteries are 2000Ah 24V, old NICAD ship batteries from ice breaker ship, have worked for long time for me. NASA uses these same.., and NATO. One time in a year I terminate the charging, to the knees and then they work and get the capacity back, again.
I can charge them, how I want and take energy anyway I want..
No matter.

Best batteries, I know are NIFE and nowadays you can find them and more information;

http://www.nickel-iron-battery.com/

EDISON batteries.
They are much better, than NICAD.
Made of non poisones and with cheap metals.
Just like the MAIN idea; just as planned to renewable energy
and sustainable way

You can charge and use them with anyway youn want etc
After decade(s), you just flush them and you can use the used battery fluid, to
soil improvement, fertilizer.
New non poisones battery fluid and they work as new and with FULL capasity !

SO, no wonder.. it really.. was TOO GOOD BATTERY and EXIDE battery worlds biggest
battery manufacturer, bought EDISON BATTERY and RIGHT AWAY stopped to.. manufacture
and develope.. this battery.
Everything must last just.. in our time

This is that I use to control overvoltage;

http://ghurd.info/dc.html

It is set to dump at 31,6V, with some new components, NICAD setting.
NICAD needs 31-33V to be fully loaded.

To connect the dump load, I have this 220Amp Power mosfet.
(Big DC loads are difficult to any relays);

http://www.st.com/st-web-ui/static/active/en/resource/techni cal/document/datasheet/CD00002654.pdf

I have two inverters 3kw pure sine wave and the� have worked 24/7 for over a decade
now;

https://www.fraron.de/en/wechselrichter/reiner-sinus/24v-auf -230v/swi3000r24vu-reiner-sinus-24vdc-230vac-3000-4200w/a-25 62612/

Good news, which are very rare, in our time, but here you can find
some.. ;

http://cleantechnica.com/

http://solarlove.org/

http://reneweconomy.com.au/

Etc.

WWEA, World Wind Energy Association has noticed us, small producers;

http://small-wind.org/

It's us private people who will solve, or do you think .. that someone else..
WILL !
