Wind Turbines for the Home 

How do you know it is "quality" ? It could be junk ...

Furling ...

Run an air conditioner ... are you serious ?

Forhad Hosen it’s AC after it passes the inverter.

Unless you live where it is really windy ... Wind Turbines do *NOT* make money ...

yes the output depends on the rotor diameter

@@Pradeepkarti I can understand the diameter affecting output, but not how skinny they are or how few blades. Seems like a lot of uncaptured air is moving past the large expanse of space between the narrow blades. Think of the sail dimensions kn a sail boat. Big fully deployed sails equal more power and speed. Take some sail area in and the power and thus speed drops.

"How much cash would a woodchuck chuck, if it had a brain?" RIGHT! RIGHT! CORRECT- BRILLIANT! PLEASE Joe, keep typing! YOU ARE THE MAN! If you aren't a genius, you should be! Large sails, (not blades), produce TORQUE! And torque is necessary to produce electricity!

i guess its per hour if its not mentioned

A watt is a unit of power meaning a joule of energy stored/used per second. If you want to know the total amount of of energy used you can used Kilowatt hours (kWh)

Your average daily use is on your electric bill

500 Watts - as long as you have strong & steady 25 MPH winds. For me, and most other people, that is almost never. Today, the wind never got above 5 MPH all day...

No

Andrew King

ide say 10,000

you get what you pay for

4 million.

+Willem Budde They can work where this one is installed. Tower would be best results but if you can't have a tower then this install will do.

Why not attach to a building? If youre thinking lightning youre screwed regardless because of the building electrical connection, though the risk can be mitigated.

Why not? Who says?" It's your house, right? The reason wind generators are prohibited from being mounted on your house, is that such a scheme would WORK too well! If you don't need a tall, expensive mast, you save money. If you make your own canvas sails, you save money, and gain torque. The object of regulations like these is to make wind generators expensive and unprofitable!

@@jackfenn7524 Usually the conduct mechanical noise into the structure. There is no rule about it, just might be annoying for the occupants.

Could you please suggest a wind turbine that you are thinking of using sails. @@jackfenn7524

+MrSustainableVegas No birds have ever been hit with a wind turbine. Birds are looking for obstructions all the time. Cats kill millions of birds a year yet we keep them around .

+Cat Scratch Ha! That was and incredible quip even though it wasn't; nonetheless a great response lol...

I hope it kills a lot of birds fuck those things

have you ever think that nuclear power plants are even more dangerous than wind turbines? generating power from renewable energy is safer than those

@@catscratch7179 that's like saying old age kills birds. DUMB!

The ones that smoke don't last very long. Get one that doesn't smoke.

I want to know this also.

Wind turbines usually have the min life span of 20 years. By then you would be able to buy 10 of these for the same price.

@@droldsw31hhahahaha

@@droldsw31 ja nasceram mortas kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

It is hard to overstate the stupidity of this comment.

WHY ?

Dfgerrws

What is "HIGH WINDS" ? That tells us nothing ...

$4,000

Agreed - very little ...

$4,000

675 Watts in Industry Standard 11 m/s or 25 mph winds

Why would a bird fly into a moving blade?

Costs about $4,000 but makes only $126 per in very strong & steady winds = Very bad idea

They will never show it, cause its a fact it can only generate 600watthr /day. total annual of 220 kwhr/year . sufficient to run home for 16days. Cost of grid supply of 220 kwh @28 cents/kwh = Aus$62. Cost of turbine @ 2500 including the inverters and batteries. Itll pay for itself in 40 years. or if u only take into account the price of turbune and inverter @ 1200 , itll pay for itself in 18 years... So if u buy one, ur buying it for a gimmick..

Ephraim Veluz was

@@debendragurung3033 the gimmick is true to mother earth ,the cheap one pollute air ,water ,ground ,kill animal groundwater soil , kill baby fuckup baby birth ,the wise man will pay for the gimmick a cheap hard up greedy scumbag will pay for cheap one , as the oil man kill for oil send your boy to war as American interest ,but no Interest for you + you never see a penny from that oil

@@ipeeinmysinkimafraidtocome7127 what? None of this makes any sense.

Diana Jo Rossano yup. From your local council

It's Australia. They need permission from the councils to pee.

It's Australia. They frequently ban video games because it's an orwellian shit hole like the UK but with nicer weather.

My grandparents had one on their land but it powered a water pump.

WHY ?

Wrong. The unit is designed well and operates with almost no sound so the blades are correct for the unit, The height and site for the install is exactly what that particular application requires. They are running well right where they are. You probably don't want to have to do any work yourself or pay any money. You sound like you want the government to do it and pay for it for you. The problem with that is twofold; the government is notoriously wasteful of our money and then that would still leave them in complete control of your power generation. The beauty of spreading out the where the generation happens eliminates the risk of everyone losing out because of one failure and puts control into the hands of the individual. Freedom and Independence.

Free from government control doesnt imply spending unneccasrily more. Where it benefits to have a single plant, that should be considered first. Home Solar panels are good as it doesnt scale down with size, The power per unit area is pretty much the same. And please dont quote me on with 'But the sun dont shine all day'. But with turbine, there are two factors - the site for laminar wind flow and the surface area of blade span. Especially the second factor, where it scales down pretty dramatically with size. @5,000 kwh/home annual consumption soon to increase to 13 - 15 k kwh when your cars are electric, thats more than 32 kwh /day we will always need grid. So its wise at first to invest in Larger turbines. Anyway if you have surplus fund go for it..

Your first sentence does not even make sense unless you are agreeing with me. I said what we all know. Governments waste and overspend our money. Your sentence says the reverse. Your second sentence disregards the gov incompetence and wastefulness and gives up your autonomy and that should not be considered first. It also forces everyone to be in the same boat so to speak. People in the area who don't want to pay for the large turbine through their taxes have no choice but to pay up and then continue paying the gov for their power. I have no power bill for my home and soon I will have no gas expense to drive. I live in Canada in a completely off grid home. I don't need the grid at all. I have all my power needs including cooking and air conditioning and hot water from solar. I have a 7500 watt solar array and bring in 30kw in 4 hours midday and another 15 kw in the 2 hours before and after peak time. What is needed is to have an alternative source for "when the sun don't shine". To be able to pack my batteries full when it is overcast or raining or snowing or at night is the completion of reducing my carbon footprint to zero.

I must say though that you are right in that the larger turbines have a greater efficiency than the smaller units. My objection is solely based on it being better to take care of your self than having the gov take care of you. So that in my humble opinion; even though you lose a degree of efficiency with your own smaller unit , what you gain in autonomy and control is more than worth it.

Your Solar generation is very impressive. Here in the UK, I use 9 kwh /day. But we do use the supply gas of nearly 1300 cubic meter/ year for heating.. We are planning a 3 kwh solar panel system, thats the most our roof can adjust. In UK, government does a feed in grid installation, where u can feed in to the main if excess production at peak hours , and get it back at night during offpeak hours. Though the panels dont cover up everything (perhaps 2/3 at worst to 3/4 at best) annual electricity- but itll pay itself for in about 10 years...

yes, i agree. diy wind turbine using recycle material would be a great idea.

WHY ?

Hmm Do they?

Why would a bird fly into a rotating blade ?

It's two years old and sounds like a squicky bed during sex. Guess it needs some lube. I'm going to take it down, pack bearings with grease and mount on a higher t

Do *NOT* buy a Wind Turbine unless you have very strong and/or constant winds.

+Trina McDonald It's under $2000.00 dollars, mast and turbine. I have one up and running. Love it. So get your numbers straight.

+Cat Scratch the concrete was free? the turbine its self is over 2K, I know I have 3 of them and my numbers are correct.

You don't have 3 of them Billy. Your a Thermodyne dealer , a lier and a thief. You sell junk car alternator wind turbines so stop giving false information on these videos.

+Cat Scratch Nope and NOPE, I am neither a dealer or any of what you have said. If you were not so STUPID you would know your statement makes no sense. If I were a dealer I would simply agree with your under price and scam ppl, I SAID YOU ARE WRONG, to which you didn't disagree, you just resorted to insults after having your tiny feelings (we all know what else you have that is tiny) hurt!!!

+Trina McDonald Quit with the bashing . You comment all over RU-vid that you have Thermodyne wind turbines . You spend your time bashing good companies like Zepher.You have nothing on your channel, just a TROLL, trying to make Zepher look bad you fat POS.

I agree. Bats should be illegal.
