[RE-wrenches] Wind machines

[Dan Fink]

Jay, as Roy mentioned, the small wind situation in the 1-2 kW range right
now is pretty grim - Tons of awful imported products with vastly inflated
"ratings" flooding the market on Amazon, Ebay and AliBaba. I was
particularly impressed (NOT) by a 900mm diameter VAWT that seems very
popular there....rated at 8000 watts! (face palm).

There's the Superwind 1250 out of Germany that looks legit:

The AirForce 1 out of the UK looks possibly legit, though with 1.8m rotor
they are counting on a cP of 0.33, which seems kinda high to me.

I have no experience with actually flying these products however.

Good luck! Solar is cheap but boring!
