Hello all,
Just thought I would drop a line to let you guys know that
another wind
turbine went into service today. I have been working closely with a
friend to finish building his tower and install his Whisper 1000. At
approx 1500hrs pacific time, we filpped the switch and the turbine
started up. This was after erecting his 66 ft home built self
supporting tower, around lunch. The interesting thing was there hardly
any wind at ground level but there was still enough wind up top to
generate up to 240 watts(10A-28V). Need less to say we were quite
pleased. Anyway we are located in the SE corner of Washington State. We
taped the erection of the tower and the final start up. If anyone is
interested I'll pull some images off of the tape and post them.
