Great, Mark. A totally layman’s question here. I live in a coastal area of
Central America with a daily breeze of 13 knots with frequent gusts to 25
knots and higher. Would your system provide enough to continually provide
enough charge a battery bank to run a small household? That is, just
running a couple of computers, a refrigerator during the day and add low
wattage LED lighting at night? I have also a electric well pump. I want off
the grid completely. What would you recommend?

nice wind turbine, what kind of voltage does this produce? is it AC or DC?

Couldn’t you just weld the flywheel to the motor to prevent it from
unscrewing?

Mark, thanks for your reply, I don’t have the tools to shave things down,
nor your experience, what would you sell that unit for? Do you have an
email you can share with me, please?

This is an awesome DIY tutorial. For those of you who are not really
familiar with renewable sources, make sure you look at schematics of how to
connect this thing to battery banks. With wind turbines they always need to
have a load, so when the batteries are full, you need a way to shift the
energy or you could blow up the batteries. The blocking diode is just the
beginning. You should have fuses, charge controller and “dump load” that
can eat the extra power.

I love the Do-it-yourself approach. What is the peak and constant output
under ideal wind for your rig?

I think you mounted the blades backwards.

ok one question Why wouldnt the yaw axis bearing just lift out of the pipe
in a severe wind? I didnt see anything holding it in the pipe but weight,
