Decembers Results

Like the snow,  the wind is not coming this year.  So again not much power made. (see the chart below)

For the month we made 606KWH. Mistake -Sorry 320KWH

My husband was able to down load the latest long board and user interface code. Now Redriven can download code remotely to the tower, long board.  We have seen them do this several times - there is a warning on the main screen when it is getting a remote download.   We are now on version 356 according to windveiw.   Also since my last blog - Redriven had my husband change the Inverter numbers and they now read on windview.  Next windy day, I'll give you a screen shot on how that looks.

We had a problem with a rattle noise - we thought were the breaks. That rattling noise has stopped coming as frequently, but now there is an increasing loud vibration noise. It  sounds like a plane is landing in our yard.  Does anyone else have noise like that when the wind gets blowing hard?

Windview What can you see?

I received an email from a college professor that is the process of getting a  Redriven wind turbine for the college.  He asked about seeing the Wind view.   I thought I would post this so you can see why we don't look at Windview very often.  Our inverters are not connected, so there is not too much to see there.  My husband has it on his cell phone (iPhone). I can't get it to display on my Blackberry. Another reason I don't look too often as I can't get it on my work laptop any more.  The only browser that seems to work is Opera. I can't run that on my work PC.   It is much easier to look out the window to see if it is running.  If you are interested in how much power your making , you can't see it here. Take a look for yourself.
