You said you maxed out at 100 watts with the Jerry blades.

What are you using as your alt? How many Jerry blades? What diameter prop tip to tip.
Are the jerry blades pitched at 23 degrees at the root?

Here is an entry in my wind test log book. This is from the S-10 wind test truck.

4-24-03, 8:00 pm, 50 degrees cloudy, 3/4 hp 6 pole furnace blower motor with 6 # 29 neo magnets, 6 starts windings perelell, 6 run windings perelell, 2 bridge diodes,

Prop 3 jerry blades with Mike mods, 23 degrees root, 49 inches, 35 mph, 50 amps 15.1 volts = 755 watts.

This is alittle behind the Hornets but low speed start up and total power colected  at low wind was greter than the Hornets. The noise of the Hornets was also not acceptable.

The most I've seen from the Hornets is 80 amps The most I've seen from the Jerry blades so far is 80 amps.

I think there are more low wind days than high wind days. If you watch the gennys on my shop roof most days the Jerry blades are spinning and the Hornets are not.

Here is another test Nov. 24, 03

1 hp Garbogen      12 volt test. 3 Jerry/Mike mod blades          6 Hornet blades

     5 mph                              3 amps                         0 amps

     10 mph                             8 amps                         2 amps

     15 mph                            15 amps                         5 amps

I'll agree the Hornets have higher output at the higher wind speeds but not by much. The Hornets did 80 amps at 40 mph but the Jerry blades did 80 amps at 45 mph not far behind but in either case it was storm type wind speed and not the normal every day 5 to 15 mph wind. I own and use Hornets but in average normall every day wind these do not collect as much power.

So as you can see I'm very curius about how your Jerry blades are configured?

Thanks for some specs and info on your system.
