Thanks for this wonderful piece of information. I been reading all your post for years.
Wondering the dimensions of your Heatsink or where to buy .
Now working on a triac based 3 stages Charging system and Transfer system.
Thanks in advance
As for the turbines, I prefer the VAWT to the HAWT because I find the slower rotational speed to be less intrusive if it's within sight of the house.
I am hoping to get mine flying this summer and see how she performs. At that time I would be happy to tell you my experience and things I would change or do different right away.
These guys are right, if you want a vawt, plan on it being bigger then a hawt. I thought I could squeeze my stator down to 14in and ended up a full 2in above that. It may not sound like much, but that pushes my mag plates out to 17in min 18 might be better, depending on thickness of steel. When you start adding inches to big chunks off spinning steel, you need to think about that, if for no other reason, weight on bearings and balancing. So a vawt can get bigger on you in a hurry.
Friends,
This is just me being miserable.
Let me find the most correct words to say what need to be said. And even now I am sure I will screw this up.
In essence.
I think this is the best place to share knowledge.
In practice:
I get my feathers ruffled at times as there are respected players here that know soo much more than I ever will yet leave me hanging.
Now that introduces my pride mechanism.
I do not care about being wrong at times. that does not influence my pride.
All I'd lie to make knows is that I care about this forum and that I am willing to stick my neck out to make it thrive again.
With no strings attached other than that the one holding the strings is one I feel confident in.
Now I will go into hibernation here. As I do not wish to fuffle feathers just for the fuffle.
We will meet again in the future and I will still love you.
Remember in where I had in mind this meeting in person? In where I will shake your hand and give this nod of respect?
kind regards
I posted this showing the difficulty with running a VAWT.for what purpose? this is a dead thread that OP made all of 1 or 2 posts on.
Don't know the size of your support mast for the panels but if you put a flat plate on your bottom tube one of these would last many years. Already weather sealed... I have used the next size down(2" mast) to support really heavy antenna loads...

All ways good to have options, I need to do a total remake of the top half, I was going to use a vehicle hub was my idea

Looks like either your drill press table is tilted or you didn't clamp the work piece down and it walked a bit...Aluminum is a pain to drill/cut the material will walk a LOT unless clamped tight

ok then unless Ed and Joe will reconsider their stance on letting me hang or actually helping me I will just for now wait until better minds come with better suggestions I can not know when I will erupt again but please trust that my lava is always reasonabl
Now dear TechAdmin. I think you trust that I hold you high to that is why I made my choices.
