2008 in with SWISH
« on: January 01, 2008, 11:53:23 AM »
hey ya'll happy new year,


got my 11 ft turbine on a 11 ft. test tower


13 inch disc, 24 2x 1/2x 1/2 magnets

cut metal from a old swimming pool surround rolled up for return path



  1. turns 2 in hand awg 18
  2. ft blades 19 inch at root 5 5/8 inch at tip


turbine on tower, with my back to the turbine.

 i just got rectifier and everything hooked up. battery not yet on and heard a swish swish swish a very faint swish mind you.


anyway, cut in without battery 100 rpm 12.5 volts

as flux has warned i have to be very careful with furling.

still working on that, just have a rope tied to tail to turn from wind.

hoping and planning on furling working well.


to my reason of writing this THANKS

thanks to otherpower for sharing everything

thanks for all the folks that don't mind sharing their knowledge,


JUST A BIG THANKS for GREAT FUN
