Gj on that change and thanks for the video and it doesn't look like it will be a big problem to change the slip ring on my mill which is similar to yours when the time comes, nothing lasts forever. When mine goes up, I don't want to leave cables outside the pipe/mast, but leave everything inside and I also want as few joints as possible, but there are many ways to do things and you choose your own, many greetings from him The Dane who still lives in Bulgaria, but at one point or another travels home to Denmark again, has been here for 11 years, enough is enough lol.
I had one of these fail but after using my backup i-2000 It worked so much better I now believe the slip ring was faulty from the beginning. It costs so much to have it sent from ista I thought I would find one in the states. Do you have a link for the replacement?
Just quickly googled slip ring and sore a longer body with twice as many wires, not sure the diameter or the amp rating, doubling up the wires would give it twice the durability if suited.
My i2000 started vibrating when running at a decent speed but it looked like its output does not match up with the speed. Testing voltages between the different phases show a significant imbalance (e.g. 50 vs 35 vs 20 volts between phases) Now I assume the vibration is possibly a bad bearing in the motor, but would that cause the imbalance or is that a separate issue? What else could cause it?
I have an istabreeze i2000 and was just recently installed. It is not connected to anything and left untwisted. There seems to be a problem with the props not rotating at all. As if it has a grounding issue causing a short circuit/brake. What could be the cause to this? This is a brand new never used allegedly.
Dont worry, soldering is worse. Everything automotive etc is crimped these days. Vibration can cause solder to crack. I know you in the US dont like WAGO 221 for some reason, but those in a ip65 box would be best imo, since the springs retain pressure. Industrail standard here :-) (And can be easily undone by hand up in a pole..no cutting, solid to stranded aswell)
Wind power is an endless source of energy, please exploit and use it. Thank you for sharing

Do you have a link to the amazon slip ring? how does the Heli 2 differ? is it the same slip ring?
Great instructional video. Do you reckon than the slip ring is underrated ?. Otherwise amazingly good turbine.

i1500 much better design except for tail attach
