I know that's a controversial idea here, but this isn't a kW system with giant blades. Have a look at http://www.jeharper.com/windmill for how I mounted it before. There's plenty of wind up there - and I didn't have to buy a tower.
In fact, you could argue that I would never make up the cost of a tower by the increase in energy farther up in the sky.
The tripods on my roof are available as Television Antenna tripods at your local hardware store.
Like I said - I wouldn't try this with a big system. And I had to take it off of my roof because those big plastic blades were terribly off-balance, and sent a pounding sound through the entire house. That's another reason I went for the dual-blade design this time. [ Parent ]
