Ceiling Fan Wind Turbine Hooked up to a Grid Tie Inverter

Was able to get one of my Ceiling Fans tested on a Grid Tie Inverter and is actually pumping power into my home grid! Goes to fault when not spinning fast enough but today we have some pretty good winds and holding pretty steady so for you nay sayers, Ceiling Fan Wind Turbines DO WORK !!

Nicely made, where did you get the tower?
Yes I made some as well. Mine gave out heaps of volts but tiny amps, what volts and amps is this one putting out? I ended up making one out of a Fisher and pykal washing machine motor. bridge rectified and Paralleled the three phases, and using to charge a battery bank. produces about 60 volts and 2 amps, Have had it up to about 80-90 volts and 3 amps. Made a second one and together I got double the amps when put in parallel. when put in series it ran a 240 volt 13 watt light bulb.

I queue on Neil Gallie questions.
For this sophisticated setup, the blades diameter seems undersized, apparently just a 100/150 watts mill. Anyway I guess it broke by the first storm due to seemingly extreme thrust and drag.
