Some have two opposed blades, some a single with a counter weight, some are vertical "Eggbeater". The three blade design has come about because of the efficiency gains with the tip velocity being up to six times wind speed. The other design feature with the three blade type is the smooth torque, we all like our electricity smooth cycles and consistent voltage.

Mel,

If you install a tiny wind turbine under 40 KW the power company has to by law buy the power from you for the same rate they charge you. OTP will honor the rate buyback up to 100 KW. Anything larger and you have to get a contract rate witch makes sense for both parties. The problem is that a tiny wind turbine will not pay back the investment fast enough if at all.

You need these.

They need to use this venue to their advantage. It may mean hiring people to comment on topics they way they want. It should have the story writer out there defending what they wrote. Maybe they should work on changing the tone of the community.

Let's have ten minute shoots by lottery on Lake Alice, Grotto, and the levee. BTW, steel shot does not carry very far.
