A quick note to totally redeem myself. After totally humiliating myself a few weeks ago, scaring a bunch of campesinos half to death and causing undue pain and suffering to some innocent, non-assuming PVC blades I have in fact installed achieved victory.....for now.
Last week saw the successful test run of, what Jaime has officially christened "DC-119," Asofenix's first wind turbine model (The "D" is for Dave, the "C" for Calvin (the principle designers and fabricators), the first "1" for being the first wind turbine, the second "1" for being made in January and the "9" for the year.....it's also ingenious because it also produces DC power....get it....DC-119). The turbine produces between 0 and 100 watts depending, of course, on the wind. Hopefully it won't be zero too much. The voltages hover between 15-28 volts with amps between 1.5 - 3.5. So now the next step is to finish the installation next week by building a battery charging station and installing the controller, battery and a few lights.
I'm going to try to publish a video I took of the turbine working but since blogger hasn't allowed me to upload a video in the last 5 months I'm not holding out much hope.
Saludos from Nicaragua....Dave
