Dude I am glad to see that you are happy and take responsibility for you blowing up the battery and inverter👍🏻👍🏻--most people would say it’s the cheap Chinese inverter is the problem--thanks for sharing your video
Good to see all is well. Saw your post yesterday about the relays. I posted the A30 U3 model I use. Its rated to switch 230v AC. So 120v AC shouldnt be an issue as all.
Justin I feel ya I have one turbine going right now my smallest one and I got to tell ya I feel like Clark Griswold when he says I can light up santa clause and the eight tiny reindeer lol 😆
im sure you get this a bunch but can you do a video on your setup/what you would recommend to someone starting out, there are a ton of little things i have picked up from watching your vids, but it would be helpful to see it all explained out. otherwise thanks for the vids keep up the good work
This video is mostly updating other little projects but I think I go over how the control is set up. If you still have questions let me know and I'll try to clear it up! th-cam.com/video/X3NMlLsuABo/w-d-xo.html
Just got my 1st wind turbine, the iSta Breeze i500. I think I got it figured out how I'm going attach it to temporary mast for testing. But I don't know if it has a built in "slip ring" or not. But do I even need one? Or over time, not having a "slip ring", twist up my wires?
yeah the i500 has a slip ring. You can tell by grabbing the yoke and turning it...the three wires will spin with the yoke. You always need a slip ring, anyone who doesn't have one will eventually get their cables all twisted up and ruined.
Waiting with baited breath for the "Eureka We Have It Working" video on the Chinese charge controller. Guessing you read all the potential help/recent comments on those videos (firmware, wrong main menu (solar), etc).
I have read as much as I can find, and have sorted out how to select the correct firmware...it no longer retains the information, though, I have to reset it every time the power cycles. I have an idea of how to address it but it's a bandaid. I don't believe it will ever really work correctly but that's okay, it was a fun little experiment.
@@ToysforWatts I think one of the comments on one of your videos about that controller mentioned a dead internal battery that is used to save the settings.
With the way I treat batteries if I ran lithium I'd burn the county down. I use lead acid because it can take a lot of abuse, I just really need much larger batteries.
@@ToysforWatts 😂 😂 😂 Yeah man you do, I have lost count how many you have popped. You can safely clobber the LiFePo4 chemistry of Lithium with very high Amps or C rate, 280Ah cells that I last tryed to buy safely charge/discharge at .5c 140Ah, that is huge! ⚡⚡⚡💥 a good BMS is vital thiugh. Lead Acid gives off Hydrogen and spew acid everywhere this LiFePo4 will just bloat, vent and die. Only stabbing them with a metal spike seems to set these on fire.
Nope just went four months with virtually no wind and my job during fourth quarter tends to be rather busy...too much time with nothing show, now I got very little time until the new year!
I have not...there's very little information out there about them...but rumor has it (and this is only a rumor right now) that there might be one later this year ;)
@@ToysforWatts thanks. It’s on their webpage. I messaged them, but they don’t respond as fast as you! Is the 2.0 living up to their performance claims?
Hi, Maybe a voltage step-up device may inprove or make the misouri wt and I-500 compatible with 48V batteries? I have seen the (attached) video and thought with your low voltage turbines. th-cam.com/video/Z280SkNXIdw/w-d-xo.html

Some of my stuff breaks because it is cheaply made Chinese components...but my batteries blow up because I do dirty things to them.

little i500 cant blow up the batteries at least. See you in 2023
Would it be worth trying LiFePO4 instead of popping a ton off lead acid?
Having said that good luck finding a good supplier of LiFePO4.
With the way I treat batteries if I ran lithium I'd burn the county down. I use lead acid because it can take a lot of abuse, I just really need much larger batteries.

We thought ya threw in the towel lol

Have you heard any reviews of the Heli 4.0?
I have not...there's very little information out there about them...but rumor has it (and this is only a rumor right now) that there might be one later this year ;)
