10' generator weight
« on: September 29, 2008, 03:04:11 PM »
Unless I have missed something along the way -- if one were to build the 10' generator shown on the otherpower.com site -- what would the approximate weight be?


I have a steel tubing tv antenna tower that I would like to use. It is 40' tall and I have access to two additional 10' sections. Just want to make sure I have enough strength built in.


Thanks.


Scott

From the PDF file on the 10' otherpower turbine manual.


The minimum tower pipe size for this turbine is 2 1/2" schedule 40.


Weight of the turbine is less of an issue than wind loading of a 10 foot blade set in high winds.

In answer to your question, my completed 10" weighed in at 95 lbs.
