I have enjoyed the recent no BS posts on windpower - thanks for keeping on keeping on y'all...

Spotted this today -- -   -



Rated power 1400w in 27~mph wind, start up at 7~mph...

Hi Dan, I haven't been able to find much information about that turbine or the other models that that Company makes.

I found two Companies that manufacture those turbines. The model numbers of the turbines are different but I am sure that the Companies are related.

This one is located in Taiwan:

And this one is located in China:

They have two distributors in the U.S.

The other is https://www.colitetech.com , where you found the image that you posted.

The design appears to be good. I am working on building something similar to their 300 watt, but I want to do it using simple construction and common materials. I want the average DIY to be able to build them. As for how much they cost, you can try to contact the distributors and find out. If you find out, please let us know.

I just love how the VAWT shades the solar panel all the time.
