My 17' Turbine so far
SparWeb:
Thanks nekit,
Updates are welcome. It's nice to know that your beautiful machine is still running well!

Thanks for the update!
Incredibly well-made machine, and tower. Certainly better than just about anything you can buy out there.
Just wondering, did you ever have a (nearby) lightning hit? All the things you put in place should help if that does happen.

I haven't had any nearby lightning hits that I know of. Their is a 250' 900kw turbine about a mile away. I'm hoping it attracts all lighting away from me. 😀

awesome, inspiring! Great work mate!

Another update. It's been almost 7 years that the turbine has been up and still running strong. Has produced 25,000 kWh since installed. Averaging 3,571 kWh per year and 298 kwh per month. Only performed regular maintenance; greased pivots and bearings, tighten bearing, touch up paint.
