On this rare day we actually have some wind here in New Buffalo Michigan. The 6 Blades are spinning like crazy. I am worried that the torque from the 6 blades might rip the tower apart.
Last night I ran the already low battery bank to the point of being DOA. I hope that I didnt wreck them as I ran them so low before correcting some problems I had with wiring.
Even at the top of the ladder here next to the garage ( 3 feet from the blades) you can not hear any wind from the blades. Nice!
Anyway, there is still alot of work to do and testing on this.
I shot 2 videos on this today for this document.

I think it has to spin too fast in order to reach just the 12 volt mark. As you can see from the video the wind was really moving the pole around. Makes me wonder what type of wind it would take to get it to produce 14 to 18 volts if it has trouble getting to 12 volts in this type of wind.
Just thinking out loud.
