Thanks Kell
The force is measured in foot pounds. Should have said that in the first post.
With that snag out of the way things are starting to make sense.
And the numbers are falling in to place better than I expected.
Tho I will add an extra 15 or 20 % as a safety factor.
Looks like I am well on my way of meeting my goal
A 30 foot tower and from the of looks things now a free stander
Rated for an 8 foot diameter blade set in a 60 mph wind an supporting up to 200 pound
of machinery.
Now off to gather some more data on strength of materials
Kell many thanks till your better paid
