Thank you @rongray4118, given our experience of a number of these small wind turbines, I'd honestly recommend not running them above 24v as they will make very little power or avoid them altogether and spend the money on a petrol/diesel genny or more solar panels. This turbine makes 1kw for a second every now and again where as €1300 quids worth of solar panels will make 1.2kw every second all day as long as the sun shines. Food for thought I hope.

@@ourkilkennyhomestead2006 never begrudge an honest answer from someone with firsthand experience! Thank you for being direct and to the point!

You're most welcome, sounds like a beautiful part of the world. Big hello from Ireland and best wishes.

Thank you very much. So far it's reaching 25 volts in 15-20kmh winds. Won't be able to give a wattage report until the gauges arrive.

Thanks a mil Barry, it was a bit sketchy on the lift but we got there in the end. 😊

Thanks Sean, much appreciated 👍

Hi Stephen, great stuff. Love a good diy job! How is the scaffold pole holding up in strong winds? Had considered them as an option but was concerned that a single pole might flex a bit in rough conditions, id be interested to hear some first hand experience of them. Dont know what were doing yet with the 4 blades that are left from the original set. One thing you would have to do is weigh one of your blades to see are they the same weight as ours as the 2 sets we got were different weights. We might considering selling them if you wanted to make an offer after youve weighed your blades. You can contact us by email to discuss further. Thanks for checking out the vid.

Thank you.

Yes definately.

Hello, 5 blades gives better performance at lower windspeed. We have no shortage of wind here, the choice of 5 instead of 3 means that the turbine is generating more often rather than only working when the wind is strong. Below 20mph winds the noise from the turbine sounds like gentle waves on a beach. Above 30mph and it sounds like an industrial cooling fan. Its not loud but definately audible. Thanks for watching.

Congratulations Jean Paul. Have seen the vids with overheating block connector between the generator and the rotating coupling. Haven't done any modification on our turbine, the plan is to remove the ceramic junction, solder the wires and replace the main bearings after 9 months or first failure whichever comes first. Operating under an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" policy based on the ability to raise and lower the mast for maintenance.

@@ourkilkennyhomestead2006 Related to the mast, I have done a fixed mast and in the middle a rotative mast. The weight is spreed evenly from the centre of rotation. So moving up or down the mast is easy and do not necessitate major force. I have not yet received the turbine so not tried it in real life. But promising ...

@@jean-paulcastellano9589 very cool, was that inspired by the marine industry by any chance? If the turbine is the same as ours it will weigh 25kgs fully assembled if that's any help with your calculations.

Question? Where would you buy the electrical cable in Ireland? I think they recommend 6 mm 2 but not sure Thanks

@@jean-paulcastellano9589 screwfix is one option, we have also bought from our local builders providers in slievrue Waterford.
