Hello All:
We have a water storage tank that is 7' in diameter and 12' long, it is 3/8" thick, and it is sunk in the ground 2'. The tank is really heavy on its own and it will be filled with water to boot. There are eye-bolt tabs on each end of the tank for tying guy wires to. We are hoping to raise our tower up against this tank as the whole purpose of our turbine is to charge batteries for our well pump.
We have 2 - 16' pipes that are 2.037 id and 2.371 od. We have 1 - 21' of the same size pipe. We also have 6' of 1 1/2" id pipe to use to mount the turbine assembly to. We are thinking of using the 16' pipes to make an a-frame against the storage tank with the base of the a-frame 12' (the length of the tank). The 21' pipe would make the thrd leg of the triangle base. We'd like to set this all 2' down with a bunch of concrete and auto, or truck u-bolts. With the way the kite was acting in that area, we'd like the tower to be tilt-able, and we'd like to stay about 20' in the air.
Here are a couple quick sketches - I hope y'all can make sense of them.
Does this sound feasible? Thank you so much for all your help.
