” a lamp OR and alarm clock” or both? what are we talkin here? the whole room or one appliance? I hope to start builing some type of energy source soon. but if i can’t do better than a lamp from 1 wind turbine….I won’t be going down that road.

Great comment, I have the unique ability to look back at my life only 1 week ago and think My Dog what a dipship I was back then. So looking back at this two years ago. . . yes I was being very vague. my point was more that you can power many types of appliances not so much the quantity. for a better estimate imagine a parabolic curve relating power out to wind speed with one point of 1.7kW at about 40 mph windspeed. not sure on any other points.

Wind power, if one is able to harness on a large scale, is the new wave. Your conversion from wind power to useable energy, could very well be your meal ticket for life.

That is hard to say, but if they don’t they should!

You don’t need a charge controller for the wind turbine?

Wind power has great potential in the United States and places like Massachusetts are on the way to lead the nation in terms of producing and consuming renewable energy. Pacific Crest Transformers manufactures transformers specially designed for the wind energy market…They are Grounding transformers with harsh duty requirements, Wind Turbine Step-Up Transformers, Collector Step-Up Transformers, and Dynamic VAR Compensation Systems Transformers.
