Pictures & Videos from Wyoming County, NY “WIND ENERGY PROJECT” or “WIND FARM” in Sheldon. These 75 WIND TURBINES, built over the past 6 Weeks have Heights up to 397 Feet and Rotor Diameters of 253-271 Feet! Each is rated at 1.5 Megawatts, the Total Project capable of generating 112.5 Megawatts. Connected into NYSEG (New York State Electric & Gas), the estimated annual benefits for the area are $2.1 Million. These awesome, modern windmills should all be “Up ‘n Running” in 2009… WIND POWER!! Song is “Mr. Blue Sky” by Electric Light Orchestra.

WindEnergy7.com – This Kansas wind turbine installer and dealer for WindEnergy7 has recently installed the most advanced hybrid home energy system in the US, the Home Wind Farmâ„¢. The system has a maximum power output of over 10kW. This Home Wind Turbine system features redundant charging capability, integrated wind and solar hybrid generation, emergency battery backup for the home and more. The pictures below show one of our most recent installations of our Home Wind Farmâ„¢ systems. The Home Wind Farmâ„¢ system is an exclusive innovation of WindEnergy7 LLC, an Ohio based manufacturer of home wind turbines and solar electric products. Our 2 moving part systems feature the elegant design that will last. Where competitors have many, many parts prone to failure, our systems feature ElectroBrakeâ„¢ speed limitation method and tried and true HardTailâ„¢ directional control technology. Our Jumbo Solar Panel upgrades shown below put out 197 watts per panel and add the reliability of solar charging to the systems. These panels are 197 watts each and are WindEnergy 7 high output polycrystalline modules. In cases of low wind your solar power will continue to deliver energy. The intelligent layout is by the WindEnergy7 dealer installer. This was part of the planning that optimizes the wind harvesting of the 3 turbine Home Wind Farmâ„¢ system. Wind patterns are considered and the turbines are located in the best possible place for wind harvesting. Featured in the video above, the TowerMillâ„¢ is …
Building my 10 foot wind turbine at home- full version

just completed final assembly of my scratch built 10 foot wind turbine ( www.otherpower.com ) and couldn’t wait till morning to see her fly….but as murphy would have it, no wind. oh well , she is still a thing of beauty! waiting for wind to test output, should yield from100-1000 watts depending on the wind speed, at ave wind of 12-14mph estimate 250 watts with max output of 1 kw in 25 mph wind. used plans by “homebrew wind power” book available on the web.

12 sets of 60 LEDs for a total of 720 LEDs ALL RUN BY A TEN TO 15 MPH WIND. JUST A LOT OF FUN. AND MAYBE A USEFUL LIGHT FOR AROUND THE HOUSE AND SHOP AND AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE WHEN TIMES ARE LESS THAN FAVORABLE. WELL i’M A RED NECK. THAT MEANS THAT THEY WILL STAY UP ALL YEAR ANYWAYS. I SAT IN MY LIVING ROOM AS THE WIND BLEW ALL DAY. AND THE DARN THINGS ONLY WENT OUT TWICE. THEY STAYED ON BETTER TODAY THAN THEY DID WHEN I MADE THIS VIDEO. LOTS OF FUN. BETTER THAN COFFEE. MUDDy
PART 4 HARBOR BREEZE CEILIMG FAN WIND TURBINE UPDATE

this is the fourth part of the analysis of the harbor breeze project. in the end of this video I list the problems and possible solutions for correction. step down transformers are in order for matching the wind turbines resistance to the batteries internal resistance. in electronics the maximum transfer of electricity is accomplished by matching transformers. this is a series of coils that make the impedance , or resistance of one power output , to the power receiving input, virtually the same. and the furling mechanism is a bit fast due to the over length of the cross over pipe. this piece is the piece of pipe in the framework that holds the alternator and boom to one side of the tower pole. if i shorten this piece, the unit will furl much later, and I might make a new furling tail that is more rugged. while recording this video , I had to climb up and replace the tail. after i was ready to record the power output again for some good readings, the pvc pipe tail section came loose again . unfortunately the tail fell and hit the ground breaking the pvc. I should have all this up and running at a nuch better efficeincy when I come back. MUDDy
