Follow up video: • why you shouldn't get ...
In this video, we install a 300 Watt vevor windmill / turbine. obviously this 300 Watt claim is massively overrated and we will never see that in the real world but no regardless of how much it makes it's all in the spirit of green energy and will all help reduce the bills.

I did this about 15yrs ago. Forget small scale wind it is a dead loss. It will stand like a statue or spin just under load for 95% of the time. One 100w solar panel will do "something" every day, and you won't hear a sound from it. You will hear that vibrating everywhere in the house. It has probably been removed by now. Sad but true.
they're ideal for topping up the batteries through the night.
Idk what vibrations you are talking about since I also have a homebuilt one and I hear no vibrations.
Great point.
Your generater will get a lot of turbulence, because it needs to clear the roof
Ha fabulous 🇬🇧 so nice to see another uk resident , as CZcams normally packed with Americans.
Yeah I brought the same model as you got , I found it had to spin like crazy before I got any real power out of it , tho when it spin i was scared it would just fly off. The other worry thing was I couldn’t slow it down when it was storming weather gales force winds. I was testing mine. Like in yours place you got that alleyway between your house, that where I put my one , as it wind would be pushed through the gap at a faster rate than over the house!
I used blue gasket goopy stuff to make sure the nuts on the blades to stay put, tho after 3 months in the winter I did find they got loosen at bit.
Yeah the same thing as your the back tail was too short, I used a bit of gaffer tape to tie it in place which worked great. Tho the power issues was still low.
I have been thinking of taking the guts out of the wind turbine and turning it into a belt powered Device to run my my kitchen blender and other equipment which spins around, just using Bicycle gear in to make it work.
And forgot making electricity from it , as the idea of using the power on a belt drive to run other Devices would work great and I haven’t seen any videos about this !
Well done with all your great work and battery set up, you are fighting the good war against the greedy thieving parasitic energy companies. I am almost totally off grid, hard work, I have sacrificed going out for meals and trips to the pub but it is paying off, long hours dealing with 70mm2 cables and battery lugs. But I am determined to do my bit, I want to see energy companies ruined like they ruin the elderly and vulnerable. Let us confine them to the history books.
I wish planning laws would be more flexible for suburban houses. As long as it is a quiet windgen you should be able to have one, but with things like to 5 meters to any boundary rule, it's impossible
so they do all that work that you're doing now, and they get paid for it, but somehow theyre the bad guys, i dont get it
You're my hero 😊
get out of England if u dont want to live or pay to live here
Well done for trying. Planning law in Wales prevents a wind turbine of any size without full planning permission sadly and unlikely to get that for my small garden. I like the idea of alternative structures which don't look like a conventional turbine...but I would need to build this myself...not that handy sadly.
Might get away with a portable setup possibly.
I have a similar turbine. Not had a proper storm yet but on gusty days it has generated 12 amps. My turbine is installed on the balcony of the top floor of a high rise block of flats 12 floors up.
Your house is in the way of the turbine, preventing it from producing good power. You get too much "dirty" wind from mounting it by a building. Also, if and when the turbine gets up to speed, you will start to get strange vibrations in the house. Try taking the turbine to a windy hill, as a test and see how much power it can really produce!
Very interesting video about wind power, thank you
I would have used a T and K bracket with 10mm rawlbolts but looking forward to seeing how it works out over time.
Cool. Regarding the solar, there's a guy on youtube who uses simple DIY concentrators to improve solar performance.
The 2 meter diameter Wind Turbines from several sources make 700-odd watts at 14.2 Volts and if they last 2 years, it's a miracle! The bearings and blade "feathering" mechanisms quit, or the Stator on the alternator, as they are "recycled" automobile (read from an auto salvage and "re-manufactured") alternators. You'll waste $1000 USD on the turbine and whatever it costs to install a pole in cubic yard or more of concrete IF you can get a "zoning variance" and the entire thing MUST be able to fall ONLY on YOUR PROPERTY without damaging your house, garage, parked vehicles, etc. Your neighbors can make you remove it for the noise they make too.
Would be interested in seeing a follow up for this for how it's faired over the last year.
It's planned,😃
Me too :)
Follow up plz?🙏
I once installed a comparable system in an open field at a height of 6m with my Bautri-system. The setup was quick and easy, but most small wind turbines themselves are cheap junk.
While grinding the pipe into two pieces ,if you squint your eyes is that the same as wearing safety glasses
I'm in the middle of making a follow-up video to talk about how It's been after a year. Get subscribed to you, don't miss it! 😊
Yes o 😂🤣
@@Khajane-ka-map88 editing it now :)
I have four of them up but I went for radial design like everything Chinese they are rated at 10 time's more power than they are capable of .
Looking at the wire diameter coming from mine gave me the actual current before the wire would burn out like a fuse but as you said it all helps I went for 600w Chinese rated which in real life is 150w at 24mph wind.
Was it worth the money ? Has it put much electricity into the grid/ made any money? We’ve moved house on an end plot and our garden windmill never stops spinning would love to get a proper turbine but my research indicates not many people are happy with them.
Solar panels are better we get wind in the winter when the panels get little sun but the whole system has put us in credit with Scottish power by £1375 last statement @@antrog1895
I bought a 500 watt Vevor, it was a waste of money, best I ever got out of it on the coast at max rpm was 80 watt, solar is so much better, less hassle and more reliable.@@antrog1895
you need that turbine up 2 meters above your roof peek. That will get rid of dirty wind and I seen dirty wind spinning then stopping your turbine.
Hi can you please recommend me a good quite Chinese turbine at about 1 kwh.
Regards Martin steele
Hello sir, hope you will fine. Please tell me that how much it cost to generate 5 kv
Great Video very honest review. Should have left the Solar video in the cards
Replace the charge controller you received witn a rectifier + cheap mppt solar charger. You'll get much better results
thanks for the subjection, i have thought about doing something like that. ill give it a go at some point
Also the 300 watt rating is based on probability of 60 to 90 miles per hr wind speed and is has to be sustained winds ….is not that predictable so you are doing fine a combo of wind and solar is the perfect combination specifically in cloudy days
I liked the way you pronounce the letter T.😁👍
I had an Air X Marine in a domestic installation like this for about 10 years. A burst of an amp for a few seconds or so if it was very windy. Pathetic compared to a constant 20A from my solar panels. Problem in a suburban situation is turbulent wind because of all the nearby structures. Anyway, now that solar panels can be obtained for nothing I wouldn't go back to wind power.
Having bought two of these direct-drive HAWTs and suffered disappointment with both, consider a VAWT with a pancake alternator; 60 volts @ 100rpm.
In theory someone ... IF they knew what they were doing could possibly put additional magnets in the pancake alternator to give it a boost couldn't they? I wouldn't suggest this if you don't know what you are doing however... but its basically a set of copper wiring rings being spun over a ring of magnets.
@@noahriding5780 gotta becareful though i went with strong magnets and i slanted the magnets to minimise cogging , cogged like a bastard, I shouldve bought n35s instead n52s LOL.
Diy axial flux turbines are better.
Looks like you located it so the wind deflected off the roof interferes
Hi there
I think you miss some thing
you have to check the wind in your area isit coming direct or rounding
because if it.s rounding then you need vertical wind turbine
best regard 😎👍
I think better designs of roof top wind generators are available. Can be used with solar panels
Im thinking of buying a wind turbine to support my solar system I made this year. Solar system I made worked great throughout the summer, however, in the winter turbine would probably compensate the loss of sun rays. I've been searching the internet for the past months to find the best wind turbine, but they all just seem to not work as the sellers state in descriptions. Could you please give an update on how your wind turbine is working now? What power do you get out of it? Thanks
We have had 160 what's out of it now, it just keeps getting more with everyday. we don't get a lot of Watt hours out of it however. I would strongly recommend not using the controller they come with and getting a small three phase rectifier as well as solar charge controller. As is it has to be spinning very fast before it does anything whereas with a proper controller you'll be able to get output at the low end.
Did you try it with the mppt solar controller?
I have my new turbine now that I'm running tests on and i found that, although the maximum power was higher using the solar and rectifier, it seemed to take longer to kick in. Almost like it had to spin up high then come back down to a certain value and go up again or else it would continuously read 0w. But once it's actually running the numbers were indeed higher. I'd probably need to try it actually in the air.
@@tobywhiting10 hi bud , I was wondering if the 3 red wires from the windmill have to be in any order to connect to the 3 blue wires on the controller?
@@jayyelland8289 nope, the AC power from the wind mill has no polarity
@@tobywhiting10 I bought it today (500W). I ran a quick test and I must say I was impressed. I pugged it directly to AC to DC rectifier and use a electric screwdriver to spin the generator. It produced 42V and 10A, which is 420W. Nice! But when I did the same but instead of rectifier I used mppt controlle that comes with the turbine, it didn't produce anything. So I installed it on the pole and connected it to my mppt solar charge controller via rectifier. Unfortunately wind has stopped now lol!!! But the test result looked really good. I'll keep you updated with further results.
Interesting and competent job, however as you say, 50watts is disappointing. Thank you for video.
I’ve thrown a bunch of $$ down that black hole. I live in a super windy region (South Point of Hawaii Island) and the best one of 5 of those “micro turbines” made 15-20A @ 24v. The rest made an amp, if I was lucky. Don’t waste your money … get more panels and better batteries …
How about an array of micro turbines that generate up to 480W each? I’m guessing the cost is too prohibitive?
Eh? This is nuts .... lots of money and effort for ~20w; the turbone is in dirty air and needs to be much higher over roof-line. The inevitable vibrations into your building structure is not good and am sure thats a really good lightning ⚡ rod straight into your solar system.!! Wind turbines need lots of maintenance, so a winch to get it up and down is usually the way. Surely building regulations don't allow this!!!!
The pre-made market built and sold wind turbines... they often say they have these little charge controllers that come with them. But what I don't understand is if they have enough wiring to go from the wind turbine to the charge controller to buy it separate? Do they do this? Or are you supposed to look for the wiring separately? And do you have to buy the wiring separately to go from the wind mill to the charge controller? That could be a lot of wiring if the wind mill is high up, since the charge controller is probably likely to be at the battery bank and power inverter which won't be at the top of the wind mill? Any advise?
Do they come with enough wiring to go from the wind turbine down the pole and to lead into a power station?
This seems like more headache if they don't have enough wiring to go from the turbine to the controller. And what's more headache is that it looks like the wiring for wind turbines is different from just the black and red wiring for solar systems and power banks normally.
Hope someone has input on this.
...
As to how much power it makes... I looked at many of the technical information for these. its listed in the specifications where they sell them. And their power generation stats are based off the calculated wind speed rate at 12 meters per second. And they listed the initial wind speed required to get the power going at 2.5 meters per second. 2.5 meters per second is basically about 5.5 miles per hour. That means 12 meters per second is probably a bit above 20 mph wind... I'm not quoting it exact but its something like that. (You also lose some power with the turbine turning in the air to 'find' where the wind is coming from.)
Now where it gets funny on figuring the math of this is that when they show you these little turbines for sale the ones that are 400 watts quoted turbines show the same stats/specifications as the 1200 watt version. And that doesn't make sense. So their math is ... imperfect and questionable in some aspects. It shouldn't be that the 1200 watt turbine is doing the same numbers as the 400 watt version... plus the 1200 watt ones have more blades. (Nobody talks about the power generation differences comparison of 3 blades, versus 4, or 5 either).
It would seem ideal also if they just listed a table graph for the power generation based on average mph or kph of wind speed... like x power produced if wind is 20 mph, x wind speed if the wind is 30 mph, and so on. But nobody does that either. This would be much more accurate and people wouldn't feel like they are in the dark.
...
Another problem is that many / most of the wind mills don't state the max speed sustainable by the wind turbine. And they don't state also if that wind speed max is based off the device being able to safely NOT break with the hardware at what point and so on? I did look for this on many of the labels and didn't see it. It was left off. In theory the hardware of the wind turbine has a max wind speed before its taking on ware and tear.
The windmills do not come with any cable to go between the controller and the windmill itself, you are expected to provide this. The only cable they come with is that which is attached to the bottom of the charge controller (only about 5 centimetres) and a very small tail that comes out the bottom of the windmill. Any three core cable will work it doesn't have to be special cable.
They also have inbuilt brakes so if it tried to spin too fast they will slow down by themselves without damaging themselves.
Thank you
@@noahriding5780 with such small amounts of low voltage power, it's important to use thick cable to minimise voltage loss along the cable run. There are calculators online that do the maths for you, you just enter a few parameters.
@@jonathanwebb9862 Thank you Jon
A horizontal axis generator needs to be well above the ridge of the roof to get away from the turbulence of the airflow over the rooftop. they really need clean airflow to work efficiently.
Nice info, please address grounding. Lightning ⚡ is a huge risk.
did it work as expected and is it still working?
Just released the follow up : )
so how do you connect it to your system after the wind controller mate ?
After the wind controller, the power goes and charges the batteries along with solar and any other inputs. Then once the battery has reached a set voltage level the inverter automatically kicks in then start running things. Once the batteries are low again the inverter flicks back over to supplying the house from the grid and the cycle starts over.
Yeah, that looks safe.
nice fan
Vertical Axis Wind Turbines are a much better solution for smaller home generation it seems.
I just put up 10 metre up and have produced 15 ah in 3 days I'm impressed
You would be better off mounting on the ridge of the house in the middle about 8 feet higher than the houses. You can see the turbine switching direction every few seconds. That is turbulence. If you can extend the one of you have 10-20 feet above the house that will be better too.
You could have 'telescoped' it in a 2" pipe, then use a 1 ton (2000lbs) car-bumper-winch (permanently mounted) to hoist it up. Makes it easier to service if need-be, by just lowering it back down with the winch.
That's a good idea (in fact we already have the winch) but the budget was at a premium so that would have increased the costs. it has actually been taken down now because it wasn't doing enough
its designed to spin around like that for safety sake, mine has a free tail so that when the winds get too high it spins around and cuts off..
What is the difference between 12. Volt to a 48 volt? Does the 48 volt have more finer wire, and more wire? An I right? I’m still learning
With a higher voltage means less current for the same amount of power so you can get away with using smaller wires. You also get less voltage loss over long wires. Most of the higher power inverters and charge controllers will only work on higher voltage systems just because it makes the current less
Interested in doing this myself…..do you need to have this done by an MCS accredited installer?……i can’t seem to find one who does wind installs. Can you recommend anyone?
We didn't use anyone professional, we just boalted it on the house. Probably not the best thing to do but oh well.
It's a lot of money and a lot of work for not a lot of pay-back. One of this size isn't that economical in my opinion, but it was a fun experiment.
@@tobywhiting10 Yeah- I’m still on the fence about return and wattage generation. We have about 5-7m/s of wind consistently…..so I reckon we could get 100-150w out of a turbine to supplement solar during dark winter days. Expensive investment for 2-3kw a day. Still….I’m interested.
Love your video!
@@ianramsay10 I don't know wind speed in terms of real values however we are a most getting 50 watt hours a day.
The annoying thing is they do not work at all on low speeds, it has to be really going.
Sculptures install a rotor (windmill) to produce electricity, the basis is a very solid mast which does not deflect under the force of the wind. Any deflection causes abrasion of the magnet inside the engine, which damages it and may cause failure or, in the worst case, self-ignition. Regards
Hi ,what angle you set the blades my i think are set to high and won't turn fast
They are pre-set at a factory angle
@@tobywhiting10 not mine I've got it second hand
I did the 2:1 chain thing and it work ok for a while. It did make a little power. Then the chain came off. May have been the ice we had. WE HAD A FREAK COOL SPELL. (8 deg's) I let the pole tower (35 feet tall) down today (55 deg's) and put the chain back on. Yes, it was very loose, and I have no idea how it came that loose. I may have tighten the chain too much to even turn. I will leave it up awhile to see if it will work. One more thing I may try the 5 blades that came with it again. I cut 6 inches' off and put them on one of the Ameteck motors and it did ok. They run much faster now with this mod and still start in low wind. Let us know what you do and try. Understand I get 10mph at best with some gust and not in the best spot for a wind turbine. Once a year I may get 25 mph for a little while. Looking for the follow up video. I subscribed to see what you will do.
Im trying to build a vertical wind turbine to put on my truck to charge my batteries as i sleep it needs to make 100 watts at least
I feel you're better off taking that wind generator bottom blade above the roof 👍
Yes, this I realistic. Not worth the investment with small wind turbines for a house. Maybe for a board. Solar panels is the way to go in step one. And from there on batteries for storage and final part a BEV with V2G .
How long does it take to charge a car battery with it
Does it make much noise, that's a concern I have. If you get a decibel meter you could find out for sure. I'd like to experiment with a wind turbine myself but I'm concerned about the effect of any noise on my neighbours.
when it really gets going you can hear it, but its not that loud. i would say the wind itself is louder especially with the woods behind us, still a defiant tone so is noticeable. it is right outside a bedroom window for us and we've not had an issues.
@@tobywhiting10 Hello Toby and thank you for that insightful piece of information.
Use hard rubber on each connection to the house and they make some for where the turbine mounts on the pole as well. I have a 47 foot 4 legged wind mill tower I am about to setup but I have not chosen a turbine yet, hard decision
I have 48 V model. I cannot even get 48-52 volts to start charging battery, I measured output and it gives roughly 30V, what could be an issue? Thanks
My experience with these turbines hasn't been that good. If you're using the default charge controller, it might just be that you don't have enough wind. You might see that in higher gusts you'll get bursts of power being sent to the battery. In order to charge your battery, they need to be at a lower voltage than what the windmill is outputting, not by much, but otherwise current won't flow.
Get dollar system
Solar l meant
I just put up a similar 600 watts one a week ago. The tail is farther back on mine. I get a lot of wind here. This one is making around 140 watts part of the time. I ordered a 24 volts model but they sent me a 12 volts model.
600watts doesnt mean your get that u need to understand the math your get about 20watts if your lucky.
@@jediknight2350
The DC output of wind mills is below 12.5 volts, if your batteries 🔋 are charged , you will get little power from the wind mill. Those 20 watts you mention.
You need a DC-DC step-up converter, otherwise you won’t pull the watts form the wind mill.
An eolic generator is a voltage source (of low voltage).
A solar panel is a current source, that’s why the solar panel is always pushing energy to the charge controller and batteries.
The wind mill only generates energy when there is demand for that energy. If the batteries are fully charged , you won’t get energy from the wind mill.
That why the DC-DC step up converter is a must at the output of the wind mill.
I take it that you have read the UK Building Regs regarding wind turbines mounted on poles in your garden ?
How high off the ground do you need to be for power generation to really take effect?
In many videos people think you have to be high up but people don't actually state a certain amount that they found, or tested, or that other people found for this.
Thanks.
We just put one up, didn't really consider the height. It was lower than the peak of the roof, which was a bit of a mistake because I think there was some turbulence. We have taken it down now as it didn't make enough electricity.
Might be a good thing to have if you live close to the sea or up north.
My 100 watt solar panel makes more per hour, perhaps solar is the way to go instead ?
Solar is the better way.
How do you make conection to grid ?
Because it's a custom system and not from a approved installer, we can't connect it to the grid. To use the power there is a line running into the house supliying a handful of sockets which we can plug things into.
Sorry man you need wide open spaces, turbulence sucks the power out of the wind and there are stiff planning restrictions with turbines that you will be in breach of.
I think your altitude may be not high enough. If you want high speed wind, go to a higher place.
For the work you put in that wind turbine is rubbish. Thanks for the video 👍
"Better than nothing" is not a very good reccomendation. Location (other buildings will reduce your wind thruput) and height are very important for wind generatioon. As a rule solar is better on houses in built up areas. If you could get another 40-50 ft on that pole you might see a pretty large jump in generation.
It's been a year since you posted this. Was your results like mine? I'm sure I have posted here before. I have one like yours but a 500 watt five blade. Bet they are the same ones with different labels. Mine did nothing in good wind at times. Sounded like it would come apart. I took a 12 speed bike and robbed the sprockets to gear it 2 to 1. Got 3 blades 7 inches at base by 4 inches at the tip. 36 inches long. I have yet to have any wind to speak of. Just put it up. In 5 mph wind it did turn but no power yet. One thing is these things should come with 3 blades. I cut my 5 blades off 6 inches and put them on a Ameteck 38 volt 12-amp 950 rpm motor I have. It works ok like that. It did not work as good as the other Ameteck motor (Same spec's) with certain type 3 blades air master fan blades. I had the same blades on one of the motors years ago and it melted a 12 gage cord. BUT it was 150 ft long. A little long for DC. Good luck with yours. I'm just trying to get something out of mine. All in fun.
Follow up video is in the works, shouldn't be too much longer : ) Sounds like I had a similar experience to you though even in good wins it wouldn't do much.
*All other practical tests also show that small wind turbines hardly generate any electricity. Because there is hardly any wind near the ground!*
If you really want to use natural energy sensibly, you should set up 2x2 solar modules in S-E (for morning sun) and S-W direction
and then use electricity with a so-called plug-in solar system.
*With an investment of only about 750 €, you can generate about 30,000 kWh of green electricity in 25 years!*
You need to consider there are many people, mainly women, who hear noise from these that they find unbearable. I was one of many who could not hear this noise or feel any vibration but they were very disturbed by this noise. I would wait until the wind generators with no moving parts are developed
Warwick university report on microwind turbines is worth a read.
you need to use it together with solar cells and you have to get into the kW range. 7-10Kw.
And that is what will happen, on a stormy cold lightless winter night. When Solar cells don't work.
You will be able to heat your house. Especially in my area, when the wind howls and make the fence shake.
These Vevor turbines are really only 20-30 watt output, they are useless and would barely run a small lamp on a good day.
I am not talking about Vevor and you don't need a 20m tower too, it depends on your position as well@@georgebarnes8163
What we did daddy’s doing all the work mate.
from what I know, it is not ok to mount the wind turbine on the structure of the house because you will have noises in the house continuously.
We had originally planned to put thick rubber between the wall and the brackets but we forgot on installation. There is not a lot of vibration noise, the wind sound through the window is Louder. It was a consideration though and you can hear it if you really listen.
Such a system can be set up quickly and inexpensively with a Bautri-System
DO NOT MOUNT TURBINE ON HOUSE.
Vibration travels through the wall.
Oh cool it’s one of those bird killer things
Its probably not a good idea to install these right where the power cables for your house electricity come into your house. I would reccomend to others to purposely not put it around that area in case something comes loose. Its also possible that municipalities won't like them being wired too close to their incoming power cables.
But in this case your video it looked like you had some pretty good anchoring for your pole. I'm just thinking that others might not be as thorough as you are.
If you're referring to the cables that are going between the house and the garage, this is a simple Ethernet cable owned by us and has nothing to do with power. Our house gets power in through the ground in a completely different area.
How much price
Cool project.
Get your money back in 20 years if it still works.
Sir I am buy 1 produt
😅Your neighbours will complain about the noise in a few days. 😢
It need to be 3 meter pass the roof of the house
How old are the batteries sir?
The black ones were new when it was installed, the others at a bit older
you have a lot of flow disruption sitting there in proximity of the roof, no wonder your results were disappointing
there's a reason turbines are mounted in open areas, high above the ground
Lol you said C U Next Tuesday
u get about 20watts if your lucky wind turbines are useless.
I think goe222 blades perform the best 👍💯
Why didn't you just use the pole to get the turbine in place you could have fixed the turbine to the pole push it up to required height then cut it off 🤷
2 triple A batteries is pretty close.
Correction, I meant don't try my suggestion on Lithium batteries because circuit would be more complicated. Unless you're an engineer.
bird blender in the back yard
Wind turbines send out a pulse once rectified. The pulse is good for lead acid batterys and will make them last alot longer. This is the reason i have one. Study.
people say it cant work well without accumulator, and anything with accumulators is much much more expensive than mass electricity prices course of accumulator life cycle
I had similar results. We only get power only after spinning fast enough to reach 10Vac. 10vac x 1.414 is 14Vdc.
So here's what I was thinking:
Use solar to charge a 12V battery.
But, if not lithium battery, don't use charge controller. Design yourself with diodes and caps.
Place 12V battery in series with wind turbine, then parallel these with battery/s you want to charge.
If you do this, the moment blades spin, you should start getting power. I know it's a complicated experiment, I haven't done it myself for same reason. But although you'll be using power from a battery, it should be half as much power from this battery to charge the others. Just a thought, I hope I get to try this, before I take down my setup. I was hoping this would have been a worthwhile addition to my solar.
Another alternative is to use a DC-DC booster circuit to increase the wind turbine voltage to 14 volts to charge the batteries 🪫.
It you don’t use the DC-DC step-up booster, you will only get energy from the wind mill when the batteries are discharged.
@@ajarivas72 Do you have a circuit?
May we have an update please?
One will come eventually but it ended up doing so little that it's been taken down now unfortunately. The (admittedly small) noise and visual impacts it had are just not worth the amount of electricity it made.
@@tobywhiting10 I think that the house roof is causing turbulent air flow and what you need is more elevation to get smoother and more consistent wind. If that is possible of course!
Should install higher
You should know they only produce 10 % of their rated power
Could it power a kettle or charge a phone this ignoramous asks.
Don’t why u can’t mount it on a old flag pole,hey telescope
30 watts max
lol 3.5 volts per leg (nothing) it never charge a 12 volt battery i have a 800 watt 6 blade . lol it charge a cell phone usb only.
Vevor does NOT make a 300 watt wind generator!! Only a 500 and a 400 watt!!
I guess it must have sisne be discontinued then, I can't emagan the other models are much better.
