are we sure that a 2m rotor diam is going to be useful?
Adriaan do you concur?
If so then I think we should all be updated on a new way of calculating as then it seems that this omincalcularor I refereed to is useless.
Quotemore than you asked for.Sure, every system that evolves long enough develops prehensile things like gall bladders and wisdom teeth.
I was pretty sure you operated off-grid, but wondered if there was occasional support from an existing supply.
Thanks for the extra detail.
My house is already on grid, so I'm looking at an existing pump, stove, heating and other things that pull many thousands of kW each. And it's trivially easy to turn them all on at the same time. Replacing them all would be very invasive surgery. While I could save energy that way, I also expect such changes would not increase the value of the house, nor have anything but a negative effect on reliability or ease of repair. For all of the modifications I've already done, I'm the only repair man. I've whittled our consumption down to less than 8000 kWhr per year. Probably terrible to an off-gridder like you.
These considerations make choosing a grid-tie inverter pretty complicated.

@ Brandnewb,
Our government is increasingly positive about wind energy.
Big issue in my city everywhere... Mary got it right, spikes are the only viable solution.

That's a great spot for you mill.
How much space will you put between the ground and the bottom of the rotating body ?

9 coils / 12 magnets.
According to the Bavaria Winding Diagram Table, 9 coils / 10 magnets would be a better combination.

Here is why I needed to overhaul the Azimuth drive to begin with.
Need to revers engineer the circuit, easy enough to repair as just the rectifier module that blew but over all circuit is functional still.

Now I will stop rambling now again for a while as I am still not even sure if this will even get out thereIt absolutely will, your posts increased in quality by several orders of magnitude, I am very glad to see that once you're calm and collected you're not rambling all the time and posting 7 times in a row, you're actually writing properly with some good points! Carry on like this

Reminds me of the satellite television dish my parents had when I was young. It used pivots to tilt back and forth. The pivoting apparatus bore its weight on an arc shaped bar. As you rotated the dish horizontally there were wheels that rested against the bar. The bar sat on the horizontal pivot before the dish tilt machinism and could be adjusted about to any direction before keybolts held it tight against the main horizontal pivot. Until wind got in the low 50s the big dish could hold a tight signal.
