Default Big diy grid tied wind turbine

Prairie Turbines presents: Breezy 5.5 A Reliable 5500 Watt Homebuilt Wind Turbine Generator

If you have decent ave wind you could eliminate your electric bill altogether with one of these heavy duty asynchronous grid connected turbines. All you need is a few grand and lots of ambition , or you can spend more and buy most of the parts premade and save the ambition for the tower and set-up. I'm a big fan of this design, no batteries and lots of power in lower winds. It makes 5.5 kw at 23 mph wind speed, and I thought I saw somewhere that it makes 3kw around 12 mph (not sure).
