<font size="2">That Superwind is a good turbine, has a good track
record but it's a bit spendy for the size.<br>
They have targeted the commercial field and are doing well with
the railroad and oil and gas industry.<br>
<br>
I tend to forget about it so I hadn't mentioned it before.<br>
<br>
As for VAWTs, there are still no commercially viable models on the
market today. They have a terrible track record.<br>
They look cool, tend to be installed on college campuses and other
highly visible locations, so the general public<br>
thinks that they must be good.<br>
<br>
What has been seen cannot be unseen!<br>

<div dir="ltr">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).

<div>There's the Superwind 1250 out of Germany that looks
legit: <a href="https://www.superwind.com/superwind-1250/"

<div>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.</div>

all<br>
<br>
Is anyone making a good quality 1-2kw wind machine?<br>
<br>
All of my searches come up with nothing. <br>

Thanks in advance <br>
