A couple of quick questions
« on: August 16, 2005, 01:13:58 AM »
Hi Guys,


Im building a small VAWT. dimensions 500mm in length by 200mm in diameter.

What is the aero power from this swept area?

If I am charging a 12v battery is it likely I could get 1amp out of my wee machine at 10m/s?

Cheers,


Trip
