About how fast does the wind need to be going to produce what amount of power? Just trying to get an idea of this type of generator vs a cordless drill one. And what were the numbers before and after the upgraded magnets, just so I can know if that tips the scale in the ceiling fan favor. .
Wind speed could be very light. Depending on the size of the magnets used will determine the cogging of the unit. I was able to generate 10-14 VDC with very low wind speeds on some of the generators but the Amps were practically non existent.
Hi there, I made also made a ceilingfan VAWT and also want to connect it to the grid in the same way. My vawt makes a lot of volts but then of course i pay the price in amps! i do use Ed lenz`s voltage doubler and have to say it works a treat! In relatively slow wind it makes between 10 to 25 volts and as the wind picks up ive had 175 volts out of it but my wife told me take down because she thought it was DANGEROUS! Ceep up the good werk! greetings from Holland

What is your max amp output?
Extremely low. I'm lucky to get 1 amp!
