THINK BIG WIND MEGA-WATT TOWERS WILL SAVE YOU?
SMALL HOME BUILT WIND CAN SAVE US!
We at Windgenzen are fighting for you, with systems you can afford TODAY, from
classes to gear, you can unplug TODAY. We don't care where you learn to
carve your props-use google to find a dozen classes and surplus gens
all over the net.
What we care about is shattering any and all MYTHS
that you might think are preventing you from unplugging today.
Let your voice be heard. Read the posts, dozens and dozens of them at the forum (link above) and
then cast your vote at the Poll at that forum and let it ring from mountain to mountain, from city to city, from block to block!
YOU WANT A SOLUTION YOU CAN AFFORD TODAY!
YOU WANT TO UNPLUG FROM THE GRID TODAY!
The big wind manufacturers are trying to convince government that the answer
lies with them and we appreciate all the inroads into Congress they have made.
This transition could not be possible without their past service.
But they do not want you to unplug with a system you build. They want you
to buy utility fed power from their huge wind turbines. If you are a land owner
and want to make a bundle, try Gold Pact Power. They
offer community based megawatt wind farms and pay the highest rate in the industry.
If you don't have the land for a megawatt wind farm, build a small self-contained system.
The world reknowned, leading expert on wind power, Paul Gipe
has confirmed our formulas, and those of NASA Jerry, our hero - you can unplug today at a
price you can afford and start paying $25/month for all your power for the 10 year
payoff period, and then zero after that, save minor maintenance of less than $50/year.
Explore our website. Explore the posts at the A-W-H forum and see the bashing we
are taking from people who disagree with Paul and NASA Jerry. Would you disagree with
a NASA Physicist or a Wind Gen Expert? Don't...it makes you look foolish and the fact
is home owners can afford to unplug today with the classes, gear and methods we teach.
If you are sick of skyrocketing oil prices and utility bills you can't afford,
sick of big industry putting the bite on home owners, sick of magazine editors and
special interest groups telling you that you can't, make your voice heard by
clicking the VOTE link above and telling them that you can and you will.
If little Srianie in South America can fly 12 foot props in the jungle on a shoestring
budget, you can too.

installers and home owners chat.
"Hi to all,
I have been thinking quite a lot about grid tied inverters for wind
turbines and my opinion is that if you want to have a true MPPT on a
wind turbine, you need to take into account several specific
parameters :
You can deduct wind speed from torque and RPM but you do not have any
indications for low wind speeds as the rotor might be stopped.
As you know, you have to extract the more power possible out of the
turbine and as the power comes from the wind, you have to extract
power according to a power vs wind speed load curve (this is obvious
but always good to remember)
Now. Everybody here knows that setting properly a Windy Boy for
example for a specific turbine is troublesome. It takes time and as
the Windy boy only allows a 2 points curve, the results are always a
bit disapointing. You cannot take care of the RPM or overheating for
example.
ARE did a great job with their voltage clamp as they actually take
care of the above parameters but their clamp only works for their
turbines. And it is an added cost to the system.
So my guess is that you will never manage to have an efficient MPPT
for any wind turbine if does not meet the proper load curve. The
problem then is that all the different turbines on the market have
different power curves (and most of the timer, you cannot rely on the
manufacturers ones).
What is the next step? The next step is to make an smart inverter that
will actually "learn" the turbine through data collecting and
processing.
We have ideas on how to do this. I am looking for an inverter
manufacturer that would be interested in making a prototype we could
test on our test site. We have the design and we know the data
processing needed. We need someone who can make it.
The target is to have a 0 to 5 kW inverter that would be able to work
with any wind turbine in any wind condition. And the more it will
work, the better it will work.

Dear Olivier,
We at WindGenZen have a better idea - don't restrict the wind generator
from performing at it's best with clamps and modifications to it's output.
As NASA Jerry says 'Let her rip!' and then capture all that
raw power into batteries and instead of buying expensive gridtie systems
that are prone to failure, that don't even work in a blackout and
cost an arm and a leg, use inexpensive 3000 watt inverters and
wire your home to be NEC compliant
for a fraction of the cost of gridtie systems.
This way you get max power from your wind generator, for a much more reliable and
inexpensive system and have power during blackouts; something most gridtie systems
cannot do.
It is a myth to believe you have to spend
$20,000.00 or more to unplug from the grid. Our classes show you how you can do it for $1000.00 - $5000.00
easily. We have students around the world doing it and Olivier - you can too.
Sincerely,
The Teachers at eduhosting.org and
There is a hot debate at the A-W-H forum and the results are in!
Think expensive grid-ties are better? Here is
a wind gen professional struggling with the problems of a straight
grid-tie system (no battery) tied to a wind gen/controller and
he admits, the power curve needs fine tuning and as a result,
it really is NOT as effective or efficient as a reliable battery/inverter
system.
