confused 2009-08-03

Reviewer: Jennifer A. Hardy

All your thoughts are very interesting and helpful if you have a BS in electrical engineering, however, for me I was just confused. Like most Americans, my husband and I want to find realistic alternative energy and have been tossing about the idea of a wind generator for our home to subsidize what we get from our electric company. None of the reviews I read gave me any indication as to whether or not the wind turbines advertised here were worth the price. Come on people, remember some of us have our BS degrees in sciences that do not require a lot of math or calculus.

This is my 2nd one that I purchased for saving electrical power.When it moves, you don't hear it.it is Just a wisper.One windy day can charge my 12 volt batterys.Follow the instructions and you have it made.I give it a 5.

Works great if you add a longer tail and add 6 blades 2009-04-24

I have had one of these generators for a while. It did not work for me so I bought 6 blades and put them on and it works great now. I have found that by adding a battery at the base of the tower it works the best. My main battery supply is about 125 ft from the tower and by putting a battery at the base of the tower the generator will fill the battery at the base and that battery will tranfer the power to the other batteries. If one has their batteries far away from the tower,then the lost in the wire when the generator reads the battery will keep it from completely charging the far away batteries. Hsydrogen appliances sells the 6 blade kits to add to this generator, and gives advise on how to make a better tail for it. They have there blade kits on ebay under wind generator. The tail can be built from information on their web site.
I have not tried hydrogen appliances wind generator yet, but will one day.

My remote cabin uses the dc power to run lights and radio. One can even buy dc light bulbs that work great.

Complete Waste Of Energy & Money 2009-04-21

Folks, unless you live in one of the very few windy locations and most of those places are rural, what good is a wind turbin for $2,000+?

I can charge batteries for pennies, charge my shaver, my boat and RV batteries with utility power at 12 cents per kwh. Also, consume 120 or 240 power for the same cost. Yes, in the long run it adds up but I don't have to maintain the power supply either.

Wind energy is a long way from being feasisble to own and maintain let alone sell it's power to the grid.

great, very easy to install and set up 2008-12-17

made my own tower and installed windmill on top, have it about 30 feet and it works great, runs my ice box just fine, would buy more if i had the money
