well it is certainly not nonsense but yes I will admit it is of my opinion.
Just look at the differences between the EU and the US in regards of citizen privacy.

the US is not known for it's privacy advocating legislation.This is nonsense!! AND only your opinion
My suggestion is to use metric as most of the people, even those on the correct side of the pond, have a feeling with that.
For those that do not then indeed there is always google
However I advice against google even though I always use their search
https://www.omnicalculator.com/conversion/imperial-to-metric-conversion
is what I would recommend if at all trustworthy.
I for one stopped trusting their calculator regarding the VAWT configuration of the wind turbine calculator.

Ok sure, I might just not fully understood how to dial in the numbers yet but to me this is too ambiguous.Google has tools to change form one to the other...
25.4mm to the inch
2.54 cm per inch
from there it is easy to get feet...
Yes.
I am open to all suggestios...as I was cut short here where I operate.

susdesign.com has some great tools for North America on the same topic. I used their tools for slope planning on my rooftop solar. I also used their overhang calculator to visualize how my overhangs would work on my south facing windows. They worked out almost perfect.
My slope is 65 degrees in winter and 20 degrees in summer. The winter should be steeper for good snow shedding. Otherwise it works out well.
The new panels on the shop are vertical (90 degrees) and do great in the middle of winter. They wont make much power in june, but we usually have lots that time of year.

Ok dudes and babes !
I have nothing to show (but pictures in next post), but I can update.
In order to get some kinda positive results I have gotten really serious with this turbine developemnt of mine....like dead serious.
New tower is being done....with lot more heavy lumber 3''x 3'' and different kind...previous was a HAWT tower.
Moment arm is a bit shorter...but almost half as thick...and totally aerodynamic.
Wings are longer but more narrow. Foil is conventional.
This is all possible because of the new wood press and revitalization of the old heavy press. I have now wood composite available that is strong as steel ( percentage wise in weight ).
Load is higher....and wires thicker.
I need to get like 300-400 % better results to get where I wanted.
What do you think will I succeed...or fail again ?
I think you and I should collaborate!
I am not reading much outside my bubble as I have learned that leads me to posting on someone else's threads like I do now. And I have also learned that can blow up in my face so I am rather hesitant regarding that.
But I think you and I are in the same boat.
At least the same continent
Would it be a stretch to use metric as a baseline?
I mean I am not trying to diss at the brothers and sisters on the correct side of the pond but I am hoping/guessing that they have a better understanding/feeling of metric than we do of imperial.
Is my assumption correct? And how would we know?
And swear to god if I hear someone mention a "6 digit security pin" Im gonna hit them in the head thru my land line.LOL
The Betz limit is the theoretical maximum efficiency for a wind turbine, conjectured by German physicist Albert Betz in 1919. Betz concluded that this value is 59.3%, meaning that at most only 59.3% of the kinetic energy from wind can be used to spin the turbine and generate electricity.
You know what to come meet you half way I would be ok is this thread would be merged with the non logged in VAWT experiments. After all it is the same project.Huhhhh I'm not sure we want to do that, all posts would get mixed in chronological order and it would be an absolute mess, I would request all mods/admins to actually refrain from merging them, as undoing that would be *considerably* more complicated.
Im just going to say it once. "Jonny Cool pants"
hahahh that one I am going to carve into the turbine if You will allow for it So the Phoenix her name is now officially "Jonny Cool pants" (again if you will allow for it that is JW)
Now I am not sure about my posting interval.
I mean the time difference between

How is that time difference too short? And I also am making use of the {x}{/x} edits to lessen the noise.

Just allow me to post publicly the results when all is said and done and then everything is fine in my books.
hahahha Cola.
ahh Cola. Now I am not old enough to ever had the real !coca! cola. you know the one with the good stuff in it
Then they turned to caffeine which I only started consuming a few years ago in the form of coffee. in BULK though
Nah my drink of choice is a good spirit. One that gets one twirling instantly
But yes sometimes I favor some cola.

But then with a twist added

@Topspeed,
If you come install it on Bali then I will be your first customer
But Indonesia is not know for consistent enforcement of the regulations so there might be hiccups at customs. Usually these hiccups are resolved by employing an ancient method. One that involved motivating the officer involved to play ball somehow.
With your stick magnets could you run a stack of mini-coils in serial to boost voltage? Perhaps instead of 30 wraps you stack three 10s in a line.
Dear brother,Then we will need to agree to disagree.
I did not want to say anything at first but then I thought it important that I would.
This guy is high on my list of people to avoid. This guy is full of half stories and never actually demonstrates things actually.
It took a superior of his to make him admit he screwed up royalty in one of his videos regarding using a lits wire as coil wire using some exotic configuration. And even then he side stepped the actually issue where he let us on the wrong path.
This guy is a danger to society for as far I have been able to value his content.Perhaps this chap's explanation will help?

Also ; on here a great many years ago, Ed Lenz (Yes, that Ed Lenz ) also had what he called a "WAVE" winding.
https://www.windstuffnow.com/main/3phase_turbine_kit.htm
Here's a link to his kit, but the explanation remains the same.
There are pros and cons of each type, for me WAVE & Serpentine are identical, the English Chap's method and tools you can print out and reuse seems the easiest these days.
