My 17' Turbine so far

Did you make the octagonal flanges yourself or did you find the pipe with them already? (The reference to irrigation pipe would indicate you made it yourself).
Does it look rather stable as you raise it, or does it have the "wet spaghetti" look? I'm guessing the former if it's 8" pipe.

The flanges were already on the pivot irrigator piping, although I did add the gussets that are welded to the flanges.
The tower seems very solid so far, but I haven't raised it with the gen installed yet.

nekit,
Some interesting ideas (adjustable tail angle, top mount slriprings, damper), and exceptional workmanship!
The rectifier looks small for a 17' turbine and doesn't apper to be heat-sunk, but I could be reading it wrong.
Please keep us poste don you progress.
kindly, ~kitestrings

Got the tail feathers done the other day. It's fiberglass with foam core. Pretty light and strong. I think if I have to make another, I would just make it out of aluminium with some ribs bent in it like Bergey does. It would be a lot less work.
nekit:
Getting closer. Just some wiring left.
SparWeb:
This is surely a sweet moment. Thanks for letting us share it with you!
Thinking positive thoughts "up, up, up" on your behalf :D
