Testing this weekend on the turbine was awesome! I'm frankly a little scared of the thing. Hopefully, these 2 videos will help convince you....

In this first one, we're powering a small air compressor with the generator output. You can really hear the thing spool up as the wind picks up speed. We're pumped.




The next video shows the rotor accelerating from zero to full speed in a heartbeat. Then, when we start to get a little worried, we "put on the brakes" and watch how it slows down!! The propeller has amazing dynamic response, those carbon fiber blades are super lightweight. I'm going to send those nice people at Hydrogen Appliances a very polite note for helping get me an "A". :)



Otherwise, this is a really busy time. Exam Wednesday. Bummer. Hopefully more pics and stuff soon. Finale of "I Love New York" tonight... I'm not sure how I feel. It's been a wild and trashy ride, VH1.
