Can off-the-shelf windmills be bought that make economic sense ?

If yes, where and for what price ?

Thank you,
Courtney

Yeah but less than 100 watts at 15 MPH. When's the last time the wind
was steadilly blowing at 28MPH at your house. When's the last time it
was even blowing a steady 15MPH. If you ask me, these guys have got a
much better solution and have the right idea with big whoppin' blades.

I agree that the otherpower.com windgenny is a much more powerful unit.
It's not for a person who can't change their own oil, never mind
sparkplugs .... My AIR 303 is usually good for 300 to 400 wh's a day.

Or 100 watts at 28mph, depending on what numbers you believe ;-).

Frankly, since nobody seems to contest Gipe's numbers, I wouldn't
install an AirX...
