Here are some pics of my windgen. I finaly found some time to upload the files.
This is my mountain cabin. In my area, cabins are made of stone, not of wood, as trees are not so high here. But we have too much stones that we can not get rid of easy. So we build walls, walls, walls....
Another picture from another angle, where you can better see the cabin, the tower and the genny.
Here is a closer look to my instalation. The genny is installed on a six meters ( 20') 2" pipe, and the anemometer (bicycle speedometer type specifier on this web page) is about 6' below that, mounted on some aluminium square pipe taken from sun shade construction.
Lower wires are momentary taken off the tower to make some mods.
Another closer look of genny. One can see the tail vane is not totaly verticall at the moment. Now I did correct that, even if that makes no difference working.
Genny when rotating, not with much speed. I did some investigations with camera, to make better pics of movement.
The same spped, but with other camera settings. Note the stainless steel salad-pot in front of the stator. It looks better that without it, to me.
Some higher speed. You can see that genny is not much above the trees, but as I have good winds here, I am totaly satisfied with output.
The back of the genny. I give it some red colour painted parts, and it looks good when rotating. Something like an old airplane rotor.
Another back picture of the genny and the anemometer, where can be seen not perfectly vertical tail vane.
That's me digging the hole in PURE STONE, for water tank. We plan to have lot of plants in our garden here, and thus we need much water. I found small hole about 1mx0.5m and 0.5m deep, and I make it some wider. Till now we have 15000 ltrs of volume.
My genny standed 155 kmh (97 mph) wind blow, and it's still good. The only problem was produced by me, when I was digging the hole with explosive, and part of a broken stone (nt too big, about 3cm, I guess) hit into one blade. I have repaired that, and nothing bad happened. I'll watch better next time.
Regards!
