On a sunny day (Sun, 18 Apr 2004 09:20:33 +0100) it happened "Highland Ham"
wrote in rSCgc.657$Gq3.274@newsfe1-win:

Now a wind generator would be cool, there are many windmils of huge size

here,
one next to my house (100m or so), a BIG one that replaced 5 smaller

ones...
It is on the coast, and it is always windy here...
How big is that thing?
JP

==============================
As I reported in a previous message its rated capacity is only 150 Watts.
6 Blades , 900 mm diameter, max rpm approx 250 , 3 phase generator ( DC
through one and a half standard 25 Amperes bridge rectifiers)
The thing sits on a street lamp post with an extension (approx 8 metres
above ground.

Thx, sounds good.
I have a place for such a thing, and 1 meter diameter is not much.
Will think about this a bit :-)

Sure he had the power. Just as Jimmy Carter granted amnesty to the draft dodgers
that ran to Canada.

When Regan was governor? What has that to do with immigration?

Reagan was Governor from 1967-1975, didn't think illegals were on the radar
back then. During his presidency in the 1980s they were noticeable. I lived in
LA til '86...so thought you were referring to that time period.

The savages who lived here didn't own the land,


Who did? The King of Spain?


No. The tribes "owned" the land they could defend with their ferocity,
cunning, and a sharp stick or flint ax. They did not farm as individuals but
as extended families, so they had no need to own the land as individuals.
The horse, and the steel blades changed all that quite rapidly in historic
terms, well before the settlers started to sweep across the country.

Last month I went to Palm springs for the Faire, and there was no
noticeable difference in the numbers of windmills in operation.


=====================
Having seen these machines near Palm Springs ,they seem to be rather small
and of an older design.


Rather small?!!!! You call 350kW or more with blades 150 Feet (45m)
long *SMALL*????

Modern machines are much bigger (up to 2 MW rated capacity) and more
reliable.


Even bigger!

In the Netherlands they are now planning a number of 2MW machines offshore
,approx 8 kms off the coast placed on seabed based stuctures.
Their designers are focussing on minimum maintenance ( only once every 3
years) .


To date land based machines produce on average only 16% of their rated
capacity ,due to periods without adequate wind and to technical outage /
maintenance. Yet they seem profitable. In the Netherlands many farmers have
them on their land ,especially
in the northern provinces.


I'd like to know what has to be done to get the generated power back
into the grid.
