Ed pap said: (quoted from post at 22:44:06 12/02/09) hendric that is the kind of information I am looking for. I can burn 3-5 gal of oil on a real cold blowing day. I am looking at a 4KW VAWT so if your math is correct I could almost heat the place on real windy day.
Leo that was a great link I have been struggling with the same problems.
the turbine I am looking at is rated at 270 volt 3 phase, but it is "wild AC" rated wind speed is 26 mph. it has a wind control box that can give me 48 volts DC or 0 to 270 volts AC. so the question is what water heater element would work best. the wind usaly blows 13 mph.
I know that i could buy alot of fuel oil for what the turbine cost but I just get a kick out of making something out of wind.
As a rule of thumb,actual real world capacity of a wind turbine averages 1/3 of it's nameplate rating.
Any way to plug leaks and drafts in the building instead?
Any access to coal? It's very cheap per btu and the Harman PC-45 stove is a multi-fuel stoker.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
