Windtura 750

Re: Windtura 750

One quick look at it and I see it's just another version of the "Hornet" using a modified alternator. My experience, and the experience of most others who bought one, is that they're nothing but a toy. Looks real pretty up there spinning in the wind, but when it comes to actually charging any battery, it's basically useless. Like I've reported before, very few were the days when my solar panels didn't out out at least some usable power, while with the wind turbine, few and far between were the days when it out out ANY usable power at all! The exception was during Tropical Storms that come up the East Coast of North America every Fall. And during those storms, the blades screamed like a deranged banchee, threatening to spin off the blades and send them to the North Pole!
It was useless and dangerous. I took it down, gave away the blades and now use the PM alternator on my micro hydro. Been going 3 years now and actually producing 4 Kwh / day. My advice, based on my personal experience? Put your money on solar. Forget this wind turbine! I learned the hard way and believe me, I'm far from the only one who got sucked in by hugely overinflated power ratings, verging on what brings to mind the word fraud!
Based on my experience, and the experience of others, I can only suspect that the two posters who give such glowing reports, either sell them, or work for the company who puts the kits together.
But it's your money, do what you want, but never say you were not warned.
