I like having both. They are a perfect compliment for me.
I always like it when I see someone with “down to earth” common sense.
Thanks JJ. I have been saying that common sense will be the new super power,lol
Ground mount makes caring and cleaning for solar and satellite dishes so much easier.
@@SeaJay_Oceans : another plus is that you can use panels on ground as bases for mini shed/shelter for tools/etc !!
Yo I live for this UA-cam beef
lol
This video was full of good information. If you live in a place where it makes sense to do both, I don't see why you wouldn't want wind. If nothing else, wind turbines are cool :D
You are like that know-it-all friend that everyone goes to for advice... Because you're down to Earth and genuine. I like how your videos have a casual feel, not stiff and scripted, or hurried.
Thank you!
Hello Jeff, I have both solar and micro wind turbine from Missouri Wind and Solar.
I live in the pacific northwest and BOTH together are GREAT.
I even took my Wind turbine and dressed it up to be a yellow piper Cub.
All my neighbors love it and want me to build them one. Your the authority on off grid power I turn to, keep up the good work!
That is awesome, Mathew. We'd love to see a photo of your wind turbine if you'll share with us.
Thank you for commenting on the video and confirming that hybrid systems are successful.
Thanks for not screaming in your videos... too many of these producers these days think the only way to get their point across is by screaming... I just turn those folks off!!!
I like listening to your productions because you clear and concise in your delivery... and honesty is a huge factor too!!!
Keep up the great job 👍
Thanks. Yeah i hate those guys that think they have to be loud and talk fast.
Here in Washington State, on the rainy side; My brother and I did our research plus checked the reviews when selecting a turbine 11 years ago. Our research led us to Missouri Wind and Solar and we purchased a 1000 watt, then a few months later we bought from them a 1500 watt and a 500 watt. 7 years ago we purchased a 2000 watt turbine from them. All 4 of them have performed very well & with zero maintenance performed on any of them. The 1000watt is the oldest at 11 years and has always been mounted to the roof of our house above my bedroom & when I'm in bed I hear a soft humming noise through the wall as its working; Its very slight & kind of soothing actually. I can approximate the wild speed & even tell if its charging batteries or running the grid tie inverters because the tone changes slightly. If something were to change or fail with it, I would hear it first. They all generate as much as they did on day 1 and we have no regrets with them. Missouri Wind and Solar has built their turbines to last and they do just that. We also use solar but for the location more turbines made more sense to us.
My first solar panel I bought I got from You. Four years and it’s been flawless. Good information as always.
Glad to hear that Jim.
And thanks.
People evaluate this question from a totally bizzare aspects,...thank you Man, you are doing a nice job explaining it well...I'm glad you've moved from that dusty place and from cement too...
Allow me to add the important fact about your/any MICRO LOCATION, which is often a dramatic difference of harvest in as little as 10ft (any direction excl downwards) distance in positioning panels/windmills.
Also, BIG difference if you are already on-grid or you are in remote location,...HUGE difference in calculations and economics in terms of battery capacity investment and max power (highest peak) required.
But I do understand guys who just want to play with this stuff,...
Have a good harvest day (and night) from Serbia, Belgrade (same lat as NY, recomended 50/50 wind/solar officially)
Regards to all on the channel!
Tom
I TRUST You more for this kind of information than ANYONE on UA-cam !!!! Thanks for all You do !!!!
53 degrees North here on Haida Gwaii , BC Canada. No sun from November to the end of January. My Air-X keeps me in power during the dark season! Well done Jeff!
Thanks Norman
Why not have both? Wind blows at night.
In the video, he states that they complement each other and can be used together.
Alan Chambless My point exactly.
Scott Baxendale so does your mother. Sorry I just couldn’t resist
Dennis Nedry 😂
Wind also blows during daytime ;-)
Thanks for the video Jeff, there's too much dispute between renewables when there MUST be coexistence. It absolutely depends on the application, thank you so much for spreading the word
Hi Jeff, we put our solar panels at 70 degrees - needed to maximize winter over summer - bonus was self-cleaning snow does not stay on them! Good video with solid advice !
Here in Denmark we only have 1800-1900 hours of sun a year - but 7700-7800 wind hours: D
Actual facts, not alternative facts, i love it. So i would guess that Denmark spends it's time, R&D and energy on wind turbines over solar ? I believe that some of the best wind turbines will come out of Denmark.
Thanks
@@MissouriWindandSolar Our semi-state owned company Ørsted builds wind farms both in Denmark and the UK, but large parts of the production takes place both in Asia and Europe. Norway is also well on the wind, they build floating wind farms based on their former drilling platform's technology. Aside; I also consider wind power to be solar, it is the sun that delivers the energy that creates wind :)
You do live on a peninsula remember. Of course you will have wind.
@@GieZatRedLight ...could also be said that it is Solar that creates precipitation for Hydro
I've been to Denmark. I don't know how your country hasn't blown away yet. The wind is fucking insane there.
Good to see putting out accurate information.. solar, wind, hydro are all great alt power surely, but people have to be smart about what you need and where you live, do whats right for you, and not just blindly follow other peoples opinions!
Fantastic video!
Thx Jeff for the information ... wind potential doesn’t stop at sundown,
thanks for putting out so much solid info. when I am ready to go off grid you will be the first person I contact!
I live north of Phoenix, Az. and I like WIND TURBINeS. I installed a friend's big wind turbine north of Kingman.
It worked really nice it was quiet and when the solar shuts down at night the wind comes up so they work together AUSUM.
Johannes van Vuuren of South Africa I bought two wind tubines fron you and joined with my solar system I agree that its great fun to see the turbine spinning
Hi Jeff, all your points are valid. I bought my wind turbine from you about 8 years ago and added it with my solar panels, thank goodness I did that, my bank stays charged all the time, never drops below 12.7 at night thanks to the wind turbine, solar keeps batterys full all day, I love the combo, if and when I have the money I'd like to put another one or two up, also, built both by myself, solar n wind. You can see it on my channel here, keep up the good work Jeff
Another testimonial from a guy that actually uses both a wind turbine and solar panels. I don't have to tell you that was a smart move on your part.
I will check out your channel. Love a guy that can build things.
Checked out your channel vanner.Great install.
I have a few suggestions for you if you want your videos to be seen.
I appreciate your videos an information. I've learned a lot. People can have opinions but you show your reasonings. Thanks again
Just getting into off-grid options. So many things to consider, I'm thankful for your in-depth videos with common sense, practical points.
Thank you!
This video definitely got my like and subscribe because I’m glad you responded to his very uninformed video. The absolute truth about having wind and/or solar is totally dependent on where you live. There no need to talk negatively about either source because we need more of alternative energy not less of it!! Where I’m at, if it’s cloudy and my panels aren’t producing that much energy a wind turbine would be spinning like crazy keeping my batteries topped off! At night when there is no sun, we have wind as well adding yet another reason to have both. Gotta love keeping UA-cam channels accountable!!
HandyGuy never went to the same 3rd grade that I did.
Teacher ALWAYS said "CONTEXT, CONTEXT, CONTEXT"!
I agree, putting in solar panels, and now looking into a wind turbine. For the cold windy nights in south east Kansas. Great information.
I just watched his video trying to figure out which I want to go with... he seemed lacking in information on turbines. I found this video much better for me. Thank you.
Literally just shows a clip of one on fire.
Excellent information. I agree with you. It all comes down to the context of where you live.
Context or conditions?
Hi Jeff Victor from Bronx, NY. Well as for me I just love the way the wind turbine looks I could look at at all day but not a solar panel.
AOC is from the Bronx. Well glad you took the time to watch my video Victor
Panels and wind turbines compliment one another. Of course your location and environment are a determining factor with anything. Love your company brother.
Great and informative. Love that you recycled pipes. And I agree cool looking and soothing.
Hello, I have a B.S. in renewable energy and I focused in wind energy. Utility scale wind turbines are by far more "worth it" than small scale wind. That being said small scale wind turbines are actually worth it depending on the laminar flow of the wind (atmosphere is a fluid). The issue is a lot of people and companies do not take into account laminar flow. Giving the turbine at least 10 times its blade length in any direction is important. What I mean by this is that no altitude changes (including the height of your house, at this size that makes a big difference!), no texture differences so dirt to grass and back to dirt itll cause micro turbulence reducing power, and possibly most important of all is your diurnal wind pattern (what time of day wind makes the most power in your region. Most the time its night, but some regions vary.). Fantastic video!
I subscribed. Very interesting. Thanks for explaining this matter so thoroughly. Good job.
Jeff, thank you for doing this video. I seen the video you are speaking about, and although I like Handy GUY, it left me shaking my head. I live south of St. David in Douglas, AZ. Our average wind here is something like 8.9 mph. We have many many many very windy days here. In fact, the winds are so strong that I've had to take that into consideration while designing my house. I wouldn't count wind turbines out in this area at all. I will have one or more here on my homestead as a supplement to solar. I like that I can actually have a smaller battery bank, less solar panels, and have the ability to make power on cloudy days and at night.
Finally clear information. I saw that video man that was the same thing I thought, wind blows day and night.
I both and live in Buckeye Arizona. Lots of wind. I love my system. 240v solar/wind generator. I'm moving to Oregon coast home. I intend to use mostly wind.
Spot on man....be good to see a cost / performance comparison as i think turbines would come out a lot cheaper per kwh produced ...
Great video. I've never owned any of the systems, though I did consider adding solar and batteries to a house I owned 15 years ago. The solar guys were ecstatic with the sun exposure,, I could be a model solar home. Then I started asking questions. I do acknowledge this is an over simplification, but it became apparent that what I was doing was adding another load of maintenance and expense, as if a 100 year old home wasn't taking up enough of my time. With the batteries, and this was just before tying into the grid became popular, I wouldn't recoup my investment in 20 years. Without the batteries the system had no value, be we were being warned of random power outages, I needed to keep computer systems going.
And then the governor promising us of power outages was recalled and the solar system was never needed.
Great video Thanks ! On a side note. (Compliment: an expression of praise. For example, "Her friends all complimented her on her taste in music." Complement: something that completes or perfects. For example, "The pillow he bought was the perfect complement to the couch.")
Food for thought
Given hell Jeff!!! I’m from the show me state to brother!! Getting ready to head back home. Been gone to long. Good to see a fellow Missouri boy doin good.
Hey Shane. Love Missouri, good people.
I love your channel. This information is down to earth and useful as hell. Thanks.
Thanks man give out good info not bad I'm just geting into solar and all I have to say is keep doing what your doing good job
Excellent informative educational video, thank you, Jeff... Well done sir, well done indeed !!!
Thanks Billy. I hope i cleared up some things about wind and solar
Yes, they are worth it. I have one 1.6 kw/hour wind turbine from Missouri wind and solar and cut my power bill by about $30.00 a month and it doesn't spin all the time. I love it.
Well that's great to hear Todd. But are you sure? Handiguy says you get nothing out of a wind turbine and they are just a waste of money.
MissouriWindandSolar Hi, love the videos and subscribed to the podcast downloaded all the old ones. I’m putting mounts for 5 turbines on my new shop I’m building. I need numbers. What’s with the crazy numbers on the EBay stuff? 5000w??? Over a year? This guy above says $30 a month. Tell me #watts. I’m in Manitoba we pay only 9cents a kWh! I think 🤔 I have to call. So many questions in my head.
That was a great presentation Jeff. I live in New England where the winter winds come from the N&NW, the summer winds from thje W&SW; A great spot for wind turbines. I'm making a plan!
Your representation in the Middle East?
Hi Jeff, just happen to be looking through you tube and saw your video. I learned a lot from you in such a short time. Very informative , THANKS.
Good for you on speaking up on this issue of a young man who doesn’t know everything about wind Turbines and how useful they can be! I am eventually moving to a windy area all the time and when I do if I have enough money I would love to have one of your wind turbines and solar so I can live cheaper than I am here in California. I am thinking of Kingman Az. I have a lot of relatives in living in this area of Arizona. It wouldn’t be my first choice but since most of my family live there and it’s more cost effective for my small income! Have a wonderful day Jeff.
Thanks Mae. I lived down the road from Kingman in Lake Havasu city. I went to Kingman quite a bit in my appliance repair business. It's a lot cooler up there. Don't know if i would want to live there though.
I live in Flagstaff and drive through Kingman, all of the time. Trust me, you'll waste your money if you buy a small wind turbine, I own one and have sold thousands of them. Buy a solar array and a battery back-up and you'll be MUCH better off. I would only recommend a small wind turbine to someone is northern Alaska, where they get little-to-no sun.
I always give you a 👍 up, keep doing what you do brother, great video 💯
Thanks Dannyboy, i really appreciate it.
You are the man for a competent job. Thanks for the info.
I'm cracking up, just saw that video you're referring to a couple of hours ago. Just beginning to learn about this stuff. Thanks for setting the record straight. Learning a lot from you guys.
Aim to please.
I use both and they both need upkeep and they both supply a great source of power for my rv. The nice thing is they use different gifts from nature. I can count the days on one hand when neither are available. We all have options and none of mine are used to convince others.....they are used to educate and in turn learn. Love your videos....just remember there will alway be nay sayers...that’s life. Oh and the world really is flat.....LOL
Great information! I'm planning on buying in Arizona and I believe the area has good wind. I haven't really thought about a complimentary system like you described. I appreciate it and I'll be getting in contact with you.
Thanks Dale
well explicit and so easy to understand like top professor from harvard university.
Jeff of Missouri Wind and Solar knows what he is talking about!
Thanks Jeff
Thanks Marina and your welcome. Always nice to hear that.
Don't worry about Andy, you're doing great. Thanks fpr the informative video. All the best
Thanks samson.
Thanks for the real info.
New sub. I love your honesty and perspective. Keep up the great work.
I have one of the first of your newer style PMG's (the first year it came out) with a 9 blade carbon fibre Raptor set. I believe it was rated at 1200 watts. These blades in what they do and what they will take for speed is nothing short of awesome! I have heard them HISS so loud it made me wonder why it never blew up, and I never wanted to get closer than 50 ft or so.
I just today finished replacing the bearings in my PMG for the second time. The original set lasted 2 years, the second set 3. I have many supply points here so I never had to order them from you. After all a 6203 bearing is not at all hard to find in many different price levels. I have the heavy hub and stabilizer and the entire set precision balanced, static and dynamic. In both cases the seals on the bearings allowed moisture to enter the bearing on both ends, limiting life. I have advanced warning of failure because my tower is attached directly to the house. All I have to do is pay attention to the sounds.
For me here in northeast Ohio, bearing replacement is just standard maintenance. Never needing bearing replacement where I live is just a fantasy. Long story short, you WILL have maintenance on any system depending on where you live. Sometimes I even have to clean bird droppings from my solar panels.
you deserve a thumb up AND my subscription. you pointed out facts in a professional manner ..... great job!!!!
Thank you, that was nice to hear.
Well thanks Iluobe . I really appreciate the sub. I hope i don't disappoint you.
Jeff
Using both is a very good idea. I am glad you made a counter point. His advise was bad b/c it was based solely on his specific situation.
Biased it was.
ALL RIGHT!! finally! Someone took a stand for the swirly swirl.
I preach that windmills are the best option for price and istallation.
AND yes maintenance.
It's better to get a piece of property that has a good breeze.
The only thing that I whould try is a waterwhel or is a spring that spins it.
Thanks Jeff makes a lot of sense !!
Thank you, thank you for making this video! That guy’s video really discouraged me. I am hoping to build a combo solar and wind system on my off grid property and your summary of the benefits of wind power is very encouraging. Very much appreciated!
You're welcome - thank you for watching. If you've got questions as you consider the wind turbine and tying it in with solar, feel free to give us a call or an email. We're happy to answer questions and help you along the way.
@@MissouriWindandSolar I sincerely appreciate it. A knowledgeable wind-power resource has been hard to find! Glad I came across your channel and company. :)
Good morning JEFF ...take a bow you should be given a MEDAL your a Tower of man blessings to you all at your company...your a 1000 percent correct and more ...
Thank you Lorenza. I wasn't trying to be to hard on Handiguy but he's getting to many views on that BS video.
@@MissouriWindandSolar hi jeff from the time i started my solar project i have been watching ur videos and i have learn alot from you...there r some ppl out there with videos but alot are miss leading ...u put ur heart and soul into ur videos continue the nice work .Sir...
Thanks again Lorenza and i will keep making videos as long as people want to see them.
@@MissouriWindandSolar thank u very much Sir...
Hi Jeff I live in Kuwait and I have Missouri wind & solar system it’s work great and produce power perfectly
And I will expand my system with your production
That's great to hear. I hope you get many years of use out of them.
Definitely a thumbs up. To many of those on you-tube that have no knowledge and start spreading the word. It's about time that those are going to use the same common sense online as they do offline. Always check your source, is it reputable, is the content still up-to-date, and why is the objective.
I subscribe to the 'handee guy' you referred to here. Agree with your assessment that his particular situation is not conducive to wind generation. Thanks for the info!
hi
can i helpe me?
Just drove by your location yesterday and EVERY wind turbine I could see was spinning like MAD! Just wish municipal codes were loss hostile and more solar and wind turbine friendly.
They were definitely making some power yesterday and they kept making it all night long.
Good video. Very informative. You have cleared up a lot of questions about renewable energy. Thank you for what you do.
Your welcome Sam
Great info. good job Jeff. New subscriber. I'm going to have primarily solar and at least 1 wind turbine to take advantage of winds at night while also supplementing the solar panels in the day.. A hybrid power source makes the most sense.
Here in Judith Gap Montana, we have a "Invenergy" wind farm. They have been producing energy for a profit for many years. Our homes here are very well suited. We also get about 250-300 days of sun or wind... a combination of both is perfect.
Those big wind turbines from what i just heard have a life expectancy of 25 years before they need to be rebuilt.
Thanks for the knowledge.
Your welcome Nestor and thanks for taking the time to watch.
This is my first time watching your video.
Subscribed.
Excellent video on this topic. TY.
Great channel Jeff..thanks We have huge wind farms here in Pennsylvania.
Shalom! Moving to Ava, Mo. I will look you up, Peace and Blessings!
Thx for the amazing advice 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Your welcome Fadsad
I completely agree. They are complementary technologies. One must consider the location. Where I live, it would be best to have both.
LOL I watch both channels ..... He has awesome SUN but no wind. My land is in the mountains in northern Colorado and I have an abundance of both Sun and Wind, also SNOW so that's where wind comes in "Handy guy". Keep up the great work Jeff
Thanks Jim. Handeeman has a really nice off grid setup going on and yes no wind.You get wind sometimes there but not much. Usually comes from storms, dust storms. I don't miss that part. He also has extreme high heat there also. The first summer i moved there it was 120 degree's everyday. That kind of heat lowers the output of solar which he did not mention. He'll find out.
One thing that really ticks me off about living in the desert is seeing the permanent damage Quads have done to it. Handeeman is really ripping it up in one of his old videos, turned it to nothing but dust.That ground will now erode and the plant life will never come back. The desert floor is fragile and being destroyed by dune buggys, dirt bikes but the worst and most destructive is the quads. Someone should mention that to him.The desert is a beautiful place in the spring, until quads get to it.
There is also Valley Fever with that dust he's making .Sickness can range from flu-like symptoms, to severe pneumonia, to death. The disease is not new to residents in the desert areas of Arizona and California, particularly those who work outside and are exposed to desert dust. Valley Fever lives in the undisturbed soil of the desert.
Shots fired !!! I will take Jeff's advice
Solar during the day.
Wind during day, night and during a rain.
Water turbines always work as long as you live next to a river.
And water turbine sometimes work if you live in a snowy area like Canada and during spring snow melts and water paths form.
I do live in Canada (Central BC), and I use both systems here for off grid living. One needs to take advantage of both due to the change in seasons and climate. Listen to this fella from Missouri he is bang on! There are pros and cons to both systems but both compliment each other. I highly recommend both for off grid. And yes for all his reasons you should ground mount your Solar panels. Great video MissouriWindandSolar.
Thanks Canada. I did leave out a few things i wished i wouldn't of but all in all throw in some hydro if you have a stream and you'll have the best system ever.
Where i live in SW Missouri snow is no problem, we seldom see it so a roof mount is not a problem but i would still go ground mount. I have got old and i don't bounce falling off a roof like i use to,lol.
Been watching your videos for a while and I know you are a "jack of all trade and know your stuff"! Thank you for your knowledge! South East Oklahoma
Great video and content. People like you and users of Solar and wind power are heroes!
Thanks Jonas
Hi Jeff love the designer jeans. Go North wind turbines, go South Solar.
Thank you
Your welcome Judy
Thank you for this video, it’s just amazing and right information
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic info....great video! thanks for making it!
Jeff spoke the truth.. And I haven’t bought a turbine from him.. yet... ☝️
Thanks.I sell solar panels and it's just better to be truthful about them.
Same, long line of farmers, but now in the city.
@@pyramydseven I grew up on a farm in Michigan. I miss it.
@@MissouriWindandSolar Kansas here. Missouri now. I'm the crazy neighbor with chicken coops.
Here in Portugal we have a lot of wind and sun at the same time, and because of that 70% of all of our energy produced come from solar, wind and dams, and that because solar and wind really complement each other because wind is a constant so we know that the turbines will always be working, but when we also have the light from the sun its just amazing the amount of clean energy that we are producing whithout contaminate the air that we breath.
You are The One... You brought balance to The Force...
I use both on my garden shed/solar shed. The solar panels are the primary electrical producers and the wind turbine is the backup, for when it is cloudy, of in the middle of the night when the wind is blowing and the sun is not shinning.
That's the best bet, using both Wind turbine and solar panels. The sun can only shine 8 hours a day while the wind can blow 24 hours a day. Even though a wind turbine might put out less then solar the run time is longer.
I’m just outside Phoenix,AZ and the wind seems to blow all the time.
A "sunny days" chart might be helpful for mr handy man. Where I live in the upper Midwest, we have on average, less than 165 sunny days annually. Yuma Az has over 300.
I watch all your videos for you are down to earth and know the real facts on wind n turbines period !!!! Thanks for being real !!
Very welcome
Thank you for the video. Agree with you for cooperation of wind solar and water. I’ve got solar at the moment and looking for wind in the future.
Well I use both wind and solar and do have two of your Rebel 1700W turbines (they are mounted 6' off the ground and constantly turning) and two of your controller board units. I do use mostly the solar side for power production but I also get a constant wind of usually 5-20kts (not mph). The main reason I bought your wind turbines besides the ability to use solar and wind at the same time is they can handle high wind situations whereas recently this winter the wind got up to 47kts (for 3 days straight). A lot of the cheap turbines would have been shredded. In hind sight I probably should have gone with the 24V system instead of 12V but I can always changeout the controller boards if I want to in the future. Figure I'll use the 12v boards for other smaller systems to run some cheap turbine and a smaller battery bank for auxiliary power later so not really a loss. Overall I'm happy with the system and the sales engineer didn't lie about anything when I called with questions before I bought two of your systems. That right there is why I like and recommend Missouri Wind and Solar because you have integrity and yes I do have a couple of videos on your system on UA-cam.
That's nice to hear. Glad your system is working for you. I would do 24 volt over 12 volt, more efficient but ya gotta start somewhere and at least you did. Wind and solar is the only way to go, now get some hydro in there and you would have the ultimate system. I wished i could use hydro myself.
Here we all see the value of satisfying your customers, Positive recommendations are priceless.
Here we all see the value of satisfying your customers, Positive recommendations are priceless.
I need to learn how to generate our own household electricity. We paid PENELEC over $5,000 over the past 12 months. We live in a gated community,... so we might need to move due to “H.O.A. Rules” however!
@@riccaruso7791 you might want to look at whether they allow grid-tied solar. I have a friend in Cali whom pays 0-30 bucks a month because he has solar grid-tied on his house. PS, if you have a digital smart power meter, get a shield for it or it's killing you and your family. They cost like 60 bucks.
I bought ( 4 ) four magnet rotors from you Jeff , I watched your videos , I have plenty of Chevy and General Motors cars so I have plenty of GM alternator's , I took them apart and removed all the pieces that were not necessary and then painted them , greased the bearings , and put them together , I then tested each one and all 4 of them worked , I then ran each one at 1000 rpm's for 5 minutes running two 12 volt car lights , I then ran each one at 3600 rpm's for 10 minutes , I then took each one and inspected it , then put them back together and tested each one again , they are work fine , I now plan to hook one to a wind turbine , one to a water wheel , one to a 18 speed bicycle , and one to a 40 cc chain saw engine , I also plan to buy solar panels in the near future and go completely off grid , thanks Jeff , your videos are great , you just have to have common sense , everything needs maintenance , I don't care what it is , thanks again Jeff
That's a cool idea, im moving to a off grid house, I have 6, 150 watt panels, 24v system. With a 12v system for DC lights and accessories only, i want to try wind turbines, i have delco alternators, I'm putting one on a gas engine, for the 12v, and maybe two in series for the 24v I can make it a couple days without sun. I'm working on alternative charging capability. We have near a month with little sun in winter. I'm going to try to get a water wheel going. Since I have little flow from a spring. If I can get 100watts 24/7 it will help, i expect about 400-600 watts. The chainsaw engine/ generator is a awesome idea, should get good fuel economy,
JAMES! Since the 70's , it's super to be off grid and no electric bill , I am still on my electric company ,but my bill is $30 to $35 each month , as I was standing in line to pay my bill the guy in front of me had his bill in his hand and I noticed the price he was going to have to pay and I said to him , that's how much I have to pay but one difference , that is what I pay for the whole year , he looked at me kinda strange , I showed him my bill , he said why is it so low , I told him I have L E D lights that are 9 watts each , I can run nine compared to one incandescent 100 watt bulb and that I'm on my way to going totally off grid , he was amazed at what I was telling him , I'm like you , I want solar panels and some more converter boxes , I only have one 1000 watt converter box , my plans are for 2000 watt converter box for each room of my house , solar panels , a huge electric forklift battery or something similar , and all of my PMA's up and running , bye bye electric bill
If you had bought five four magnet rotors it would have been easier to explain. :)
murderdogg , I bought 4 rotors with 14 neodymium magnets each , all 4 make great power , they are each 12 volts and at 3600rpm's they make car headlights so bright that they burn out , if you want some of your headlights burnt up , I'll be more than happy to burn them all up for you , I was thinking of buying two more magnet rotors and plenty of solar panels to supply my electric needs
@@jimthomas777 Yep, 60 Hz x 60 Sec = 3600 RPM. I would suggest play around with 12 V frequency inverters.
Thank you for this video!
Very good points! Very interested in residential wind.
