Hi Ghurd, Thanks so much for your continued support. I have ordered a totally different motor, my calculations should give approx 12v at 180rpm in 5-10mph winds, has been shipped so getting excited! Found an old post on here where someone else had brought the same motor as this and gave up, someone else posted they were no good....you live and learn and is all fun! This turbine is to go on top of a hill on an island in the Adriatic so hopefully lots of sea breezes. For mine I will go a lot higher to clear as much wind interference as possible.
Will also try to reshape my old larger blades for a bit more experimentation. The small ones went last night in a breeze with a push to get them going so I think I am also suffering with this "no good" motor from cogging, if that is the correct term?! Thanks again Ghurd, wish I had found this forum long ago!
