Wow, do any of you have anything positive to offer?????
Diverting wind energy on the large scale will cause a global climate catastrophe.
wow welcome to the offshore windfarm club america … 20 years after the rest of the world
360 degree video on desktop is annoying to work with. Please upload a normal version of the video when you do 360 videos.
I'm surprised they were able to put up even five. The US seems so hellbent to use oil and gas.
most days the sea is rough this is just a really nice day out… which is rare =/
Didn't realise I could move the camera around. Very Kool
Neat
i have a wind charger from 12v 160w 25 amp i won to now what for controller a meet
love the video thanks for doing it just wish I could hear what you were saying at the very end of the video on how to expand your system is there a reason that the audio mute at the end would love more information on that definitely going to buy one of these
Thanx for your very informative "HOW TO " video shows … one show and I was hooked. TURBOROSCOEMAGUE in Trenton, Ga.
thank you well done i was thinking i we dum not now
What of i need 220volt appliances like ref/freezer, aircon, electric stoves tv and lightings? is there a ready size, or ill just multiply the 12volt turbine?
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!
Wow you are a very smart guy! and how you explain everything is JUST what i have been looking for, for years! so i can use a 2 wire car alternator? and the voltage regulator is one from the older ford cars that is bolted on finder?
Couldn't you use the dump load to actuate a hinge on the turbine tail to kick the blades out of the wind?
clear and sharps
well done.
Something along the lines of a marine wind turbine.
Is it posable to have a wind turbine that you can put up and take down for a RV. You could make it quick connect and disconnect. You could also fold it and cover it for when you travel. Just thinking.
great vid thanks
7:10 wrong about AC traveling on the inside, and DC outside, but same outcome in this case 🙂
thanks – great video
The Frank Zappa of Wind Turbines.
Thank you
hello, lets say you wanted to power two homes what size turbine would be best and how many solar panels would i need?
Great video, I really appreciate all the detailed advice from hard experience and good thinking you've shared here, you obviously have a good heart and a good mind. However, I can't help pointing out that once again here we have bird killers and a hazard to all life in high winds. The horizontal bladed wind turbine was a terrible idea 100 years ago, it was a terrible idea when the Germans started making those flock-eating monsters, and it's still a bad idea even when it's a small bunch of really good guys in Missouri. Please, dear God, convert to a vertical design that isn't lethal to all living things within it's sweep, would you? I know you can do it.
thanks for the great video. keep em coming!
