Personally, I would scrap the VAWT, but maybe someone else can give you better advice, and be nicer about it. Sounds like you have a fun place set up there, hope you get your power situation sorted out as time goes by.

I love these posts. One asks a question, gets the truth and shoots at the messenger. It is always amazing to me how many 'are building a VAWT' and are going to 'get power off of it'.
The only reports I know of VAWTs are those sanctioned by the US Government and Windstuff Ed's. One reports success.
vantravlers7, the links to the reports on VAWTs and their design will be left for you to find. But, as you have a thing for lost causes, I doubt you will research your project.

I sat on my hands rather than post about this yesterday.
If it were up to me we would institute a test to entry here and it would include an intelligence test.
I am simply sick and tired of new folks with this attitude. Too lazy to research too combative to say thanks when honest help is offered its going to stop or I will be fired one or the other.
Anyone bitching when someone responded honestly would lose their posting ability temporarily.
E nough off topic.

As for the followuppers.. "Too lazy to research" (thats what I thought I was doing). Geeze.
Hell with it... heres my nasty post since I wont even have a computer in a week... Im going to go live off grid while some of you are sitting there doing little beside BYATCHING on the computer, and making "new" people feel like shlt. I came here to learn, I get plssed on and its my fault? HeIl, I dont know the FIRST thing about thses systems. I do know a little bit about auto systems... enough to get me into trouble. I came here to ask honest questions. I came here because in a week, I wont have any way to GET informed... and it WILL be all trial and error. I didn't come here expecting some completely off the wall system to work... I mean, hell even a lowly VAWT will in fact turn in the wind, it WAS mentioned in a thirty year old M.E.N. mag I found, and I thought that MAYBE someone had done something with such a system. AND on another site, someone WAS working hard on getting a system to work. Apparently, it won't work. Fine. I DID get some good answers to other questions, THIS post wasn't intended as to come across bitching, but I did get a harsh reply... I tried to be nice about it and take it with good humor, but I did feel a little insulted and I said as much... NICELY. But heres the windup: I'll be off grid, designing things that MIGHT and MIGHT not work. Insulting my intelligence.... nice. Stick it where the sun don't shine. You can keep THIS site, since your high born intelectuals visit it and anyone without an engineering degree can butt out. I'm butting out.[ Parent ]

FYI, contrary to common newcomer thinking, searching requires reading, not typing in questions for others to answer.
