Sweet stuff! Thanks for posting this up, :)

Looks like a substancial step forward in design. Did you achieve your goal of 100W at X wind speed?

yestarday was the first day that i have decided to stop thinking about the Vawt design and focus on the output. so i am buying a 30vdc ametek dc motor and i think i am ready to do some output testing, because it is time for that.

i will post results when i get few tools and the ametek.

i am trying to buy a good 30vdc or another 38vdc ametek but oMG..the have gone crazy in prices..they are going well over a 100 on ebay...
