Hello all.
I have been thinking more and more about down wind turbines.
And wondering why they are not as popular as the upwind design in the DIY world.
I am aware of some of the downsides, wind shadowing from the tower e.t.c, but wouldn't it be easier to construct without a tail - Furling control seems the only answer I can think of.
Proven wind turbines seem to thrive on the design after all.
