20' x 20' x 70' Free standing tilt

[Dave B]

 If the photo attaches OK this is Dave Moller's 20' diameter axial with the Gottigen 222 blades he carves standing proud on his custom 70' 3 legged self standing tilt tower. He will be preheating water initially and he has fabricated a very slick auto dump stainless pre-heat tank as well. Future plans are for 48 V battery charging and there is some very sophisticated control and monitoring being utilized here also. More details to follow and we plan to be reporting on my 16' 24 v battery charging smaller version of this machine during it's annual service due here in the next few weeks.  Dave B  &  Dave M

Not much to say at the moment other than... very impressive!
Be fun to hear more about the machine.

i can't wait to see video/pics of this thing being tilted...i have ideas on how to tilt my freestanding tower, but would be nice to see how others are doing it.

Did Dave build the tower himself?

[Dave B]

Thanks for the comments. Dave M. built the tower. I provided some grunt work at times and handled the back cable for the first raising here (machine and all). It was exciting for sure but a well thought out plan with double checks made for a safe and controlled installation. Except for the basic dual rotor layout these machines (and my 16' version) are designed to the performance of the Gottigen blades of which Dave machine carves also. This design is providing excellent performance.   Dave B
