I’m so fascinated with with windturbines that I wish to build up one myself.am just wondering how you set up the tower for the Kestrel e400i shown in picture 1050803.what size pipes did you use and what was final height.wish to thank you also for the contribution you have done towards green energy -wind turbines in particular.think that’s the way to go for rural Africa.
That tower is quite old. It was designed to be free standing by Gordon Proven founder of Proven wind turbines and sent here for testing a prototype. Actually it’s a bit sketchy for the half ton turbine he sent and the foundation would have also needed to be huge to hold it up so my cousin put on the guys. At that time it was just a tripod. I added the pipe at the top. Contact Kestrel for details of the size, I forget.
If starting from scratch I’d probably use a single pipe for the whole tower. The tripod looks clever but with guys it’s not necessary. I hope this helps!
