Automaxx ウィンドミル 400W ホーム＆ランド風力発電機キット

The biggest challenge is location and creating a sturdy tower 20 to 30 feet high. We used our planter boxes and rigged it like a sailboat, see picture . So far so good and soon with some wind it might actually generate power and augment my solar array. Would recommend for someone who would like to experiment with green power. Yes I'd buy it again.

Installed this on a 12' steel pole mounted to the side of a standalone garage in the desert in northern New Mexico. It's about 8' above the garage roof, and about 75' from any other structure, no trees in the area.

Assembly was simple enough. The nose cone isn't secured in any real way, it's just a plastic lip holding it onto the body, so I expect that'll be the first part to go.

While mounting it higher would've been recommended it's already high enough to catch wind that you cant really feel at ground level. We get some fairly extreme wind here, I've seen it flip a small camper/trailer on its side, so I was hoping for a higher output during storms. During good hard wind I've seen the included amp meter/break controller say 7 amps, 5 is much more common though so expect closer to 50-80 watts out of this thing.

I'm considering it more of an overnight battery voltage maintainer than a true power source. Cool to have a little juice at night/when the sun is hidden, but the real charge comes from solar, and if I had put the money for this unit into more solar I could've easily gotten 5 times the output.

Overall it's about what I expected, nothing really all that great, but not worthless.

perfect

It's working. Only conting wires to short compare to replace unit.

This was my first attempt at getting power from the wind. The kit is user friendly in size and packaging, a hobby-type generator. Beautiful functional design that simply works.
