Endurance wind [RE-wrenches]

[Christopher Freitas --- OutBack Power]

Here is the website for the Endurance Wind turbine manufacturer.

Seems like they are just finishing beta test and getting ready for
production.  

It's a AC output machine - induction AC generator - no inverter - which
usually gives poor performance at low wind speeds as the AC generator's
power factor and performance is usually heavily dependant on being able
to achieve reasonable RPMs. They do switch the output to 120VAC at low
power and then to 240VAC at higher power - which is a interesting
trick...  

The do advise using tall towers at least!  Also no mention of roof
mounting either... So the sniff test says they are OK... 

These should also be possible to use in AC coupled off-grid
applications.
