The Redriven guys, Ben and Dave, finished up Saturday morning. The wind turbine spun for a few minutes Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, there hasn't been any wind since. Yesterday, the wind came up to 3 meters per second - starting speed, but didn't last long enough to really get going. The new way that the system yaws is much slower, so you need some consistent wind to get it started. I'll write more about the new yaw system soon and show the new display screen. The forecast for today is 1-2 miles per hour.
Today is also my monthly reporting day. Since we only made power for a few minutes this month and raised the tower a few times, we are in negative territory again. - 4 KWH this month.
Ben might be back today or tomorrow to grease up the turbine, he didn't have the grease with him on Saturday.
how much did your unit cost? what state are you in? have you had much trouble with it/
