Build A DIY Axial Flux Wind Turbine Pt 8: Low/Dirty Wind Performance

Output from the new turbine in low, turbulent wind (tower should be another 20 feet higher to put the turbine above the tree tops). So far so good, I'm really pleased with the performance. Reached 113 watts in a ~13 mph wind. At 26 mph it should produce around 900 watts (double the wind speed and output increases by a factor of 8, in 'theory'). YES, I am getting a Classic very soon so that I can log data properly. In the mean time, stronger winds are in the forecast for this coming week. Hoping a storm will blow in so that we can see some furling too.
