Dave, I checked the AirX and it's rated at 400 watts in a 28 mph wind. Going higher is possible, but it seemed like it would be easier to move the AirX. The spot I want to move it to is on my south property line, which is an open field for a mile or so, no trees to the south, south east, or south west. Most of our wind comes out of the south west, so it would be wide open to most all wind. A friend of mine is an electriction, and I can get left over triplex alu. very cheap, I do realize that you have to use oxidation paste, etc at any connections. Spliceing them together is no problem, he has all the water tight fittings. Tonight I will try and get a down to the exact foot count of wire I will need.
I really appreciate all the input from everyone, you guys are life savers.
Someone mentioned using an inverter at the AirX, with battery I would assume, but, what would you do when it gets back to the battery room?, convert back to 12 volts? It might not get wind for several days, and the batteries would run down at the AirX and I would have to charge them in place somehow. BEAR
