500 watt vertical axis WIND TURBINE

[Alterego]

i used to work for this company making the communication and control panels...

the Gorlov design is considered the most efficient of the VAWTS , yet more prone to overspeed , yet rquiring no "lead -in " to the wind....

the main issue i had with the above company was the DC motor at the top of the mast would be "powered up" to speed for it too be most effiecient...

when reaching the cut off point it would then be switched into Generator mode (Flemings Right Hand / Left Hand Rule.) and fed down the mast to the invertor pack which was an ABB invertor then onto the grid tie in .

Its my belief that the only true "Green Turbine" is thise that are made from wombled parts...
