[ Rayleigh Explanation | Firming Wind | Editorial Home ]

I have finally decided I need a little space for me to talk about things a little other than the facts.  I have spent a lot of time on the AWEA-Wind-Home group on Yahoo!Groups, and I've had some posts that I thought were really good, and I've seen some other posts I thought were great, too.  I just wanted some space to link to them so I can find them without hitting the archives.  This page may expand more as time allows.

• Who am I?  My introduction to the list.

• Why did I choose the Proven WT2500?  Click here.

• Eric Eggleston explains some things about turbine design.  A great post.  Click here.

• Eric Eggleston's post on turbine types.

• My post on sizing blades to alternators shows most turbines sweep too little area for the alternator.

• My post on a 1 day battery and the ensuing dialog was quite fun.

• I wrote a brief post on how to use the DOE/NREL wind energy maps.

• I really like the Perfect Turbine page on this site.  If you didn't find it in the AWH-FAQ, it tells you the performance you can expect from a good turbine, as well as the best performance you could get out of ANY possible turbine.
