set up cost was in the 30's. ReDriven from Canada set it up with a full package. Very happy with it. They are actually people that put their time and money into developing a safe and amazing machine that actually works very well. Soon you will see their controller in every wind turbine company.
that panel is actually a transfer switch that acts like a big shut off switch. So its basically a disconnect switch. We use them for hot tubs, air condition units and various outdoors uses. And yes its in Canada
A few years back, windmills for private use in Maine, USA were a loosing proposition even when you sold the excess to the power company. And yes, that meant throwing money away every day. A factor in that was the high interest rate the banks were paying in those days. Today it would be a better deal. I think you did a great job on your system. Any other videos of it?
So you're running off your own elec and turning the meter backwards with whatever excess you aren't using? Are they buying it from you? So when the wind isn't blowing you are back to using the utility, correct? Do you use any sort of storage for the power or can you only run off it when the wind is blowing? I'm still trying to get an understanding of the different types if setups. I've seen some where they charge up deep cycle batteries and then run their shop off a 2-4k watt inverter. thanks
No Tax rebate for me. There's no rebates here Yet!!! Where are you at? You should post a video of your turbine, I would like to see it. What size is it. You went from a $300.00 bill to $30.00??? Wow, that's awsome. Keep pumping it!!! Over here the hydro company likes it so far. I had to get it inspected because im feeding back to the grid... no battery for me. I love this thing.
Not sure about cina... But this turbine is from Redriven A canadian company that is taking off reall fast. They are based in Cornwall, Ontario. Near Toronto. But they service all over the world!!!!
just for those who are unaware the inverter feeds power on the same freq back to the power company the way it works is like a biggy bank IF you make more than you use it goes back to the power company and yes they pay you for it BUT at the straight rate.... they add taxes fuel charges etc etc thier KWH may be for ex 0.12 cents from them to you and 0.07 cents from you to them.
Also the power that the turbine produces has to be stored in batteries or grid. so when you need the power its there, and when you don't need the power it will be stored. your kettle doesnt run 24hrs does it?
@coggy5 You are right about not placing it near tall structures due to turbulance. I did place it there because that is my property line and i also placed it behind the garage because the prevailing here is from south west. And that direction is from the lake and there's no trees all open. The only direction that i would have a provlem with would be winds from the East , My house is tall enough that it could cause a problem but very rare we get winds from the east.
@donwinkey, That's what I'm curious to know... If your electrical usage is less than you produce, do you get paid or do you only get a credit towards future usage?
@erik2be I have a PV system so I'm familiar with them. Some of the PV charge controllers used to reduce panel power production when you don't have a load for it can also be programmed for use with wind turbines. You can't just open-circuit the turbine like you can a PV panel because it could fly apart. Instead the controller connects a "diversion load", usually an electric water heater element, to dissipate the excess wind power.
There are a few companies that produce highly efficient wind turbines. I've done a lot of research and, yes, you can get a small turbine like this to turn back your meter so I believe what he's saying in this video.
What do you use for a diversion load in case you lose your grid connection? When this happens in a PV system you simply disconnect the solar panels and there's no harm done. A wind turbine running without load could overspeed and fly apart. Do you have some sort of resistive heating element into which you can dump the turbine output if necessary?
hi brother if you can let me know how much you spend for hardware i mean installation included ? i want to buy one for my other home in pakistan. thanks
thanks for your comment regarding the tower. They actually have a 110 foot hydraulic tower now. The METER, the meter in the video is the old one. And yes the numbers did turn back, very slowly, but yes it did turn back. I do have the new "Net Meter" installed now and it has two counters. One is a usage meter and then it flashes to the push back meter.
@brodds36: I haven't done any math for the different sized units, but I agree with your reply to skydive9000...even if an appliance consumes 5kw, it's the big picture. The turbine is up there 24/7 and hopefully it spins most of the time so it is almost always feeding power back into the grid. The 3kw for 5 minutes that it takes to power the kettle can be re-supplied back into the grid over a short period of time.
I think you may get better sustain and less long term maintenance from a barrel-type instead of the fan-type blade. No need to swivel with wind changes Easier to add others next to it if needed
This is awesome! I'm really jealous right now. I'm very ignorant to this stuff, can you store power if you have a surplus? I'm assuming that your house automatically switches to and from the power grid depending on the wind??? just curious. Again, very cool :)
If you had placed the turbine well away from that garage you would have got smoother air-flow into the turbine and increased it's efficiency. Never place them anywhere near a building, other tall structures, poles, trees or other wind blockages. They produce vortices which will divert the winds kinetic energy and add turbulance and vibrations into your turbine.
Thanks for the reply, thats fine I just thought it was going close to full speed as it seems to be rotating fast for a large turbine. About the kettle, no it doesnt run 24hrs but for the time its running it needs a full 3kw for the 2minutes or so & the figures didnt add up but thats okay. You know the facts about the turbine I dont Thanks.
thats right woooooppeeeee.... free power. Not worried about the "expensive" part. Do some research and then it doesnt become "expensive wind turbine" it will be more like " smart purchase and good deal"
@platinum243125 KW = KiloWatt = 1,000 watts. Remember, a kilo means 1,000 units or whatever, whether it be a kilometer, a kilogram, or a kilowatt. I hope this helps.
The output on the display at 1:46 shows a power output of 1139W if we say its 1200W and there are two inverters the output of this turbine is about 2400W. My electric kettle requires 3kW during operation therefore this wind turbine couldnt power my kettle never mind my house! It looks like a very wind day there and I dont think the turbine is designed to increase its RPM to generate more power. Comments please ???
I dont drive new cars nither they are all used lol or handme downs Im right now saving money up to build my own wind turbines ect and solar panel system but that inverter you had would be great also how much do those run and at least suplment some of my power to at least drop the cost of my bills and then use that to keep adding untile im off the grid I hate money hungry power and gas companys.
Wow, that's a very, very nice setup and very impressive power results. I couldn't hear anything you were saying in the wind though so unless you are speaking in braille there's no way to know what you have said. Regardless keep up the good work!
What you conveniently left out was the cost to you to purchase this hot commodity and its support equipment. I hear these things can run anywhere upwards of $300,000 each. Where's the payoff?
Ours have been just a bit over that for 7 years or more (for large ones at least). Unplugged Power Systems in Moncton - they are about $38k for a 30kW system.
no. 10 kw means you can power appliances with a total of 10 kw maximum, for example just to give you an idea, your tv is 3kw, your aircon 5 kw, your lighting is 2 kw, sum it all, its 10kw, then those appliances can be powered by this generator. 10 kw is capacity of the gen. in 1 months you can use max 10kwx720hrs= 7200kwhr, u have 2410kwhr you said, then this gen exceed what you need, really good generator is it? just hope that wind is always good enough:D
Man I want this too :s Why do we have such a stupid government in Belgium. It takes months to have a permission and then there are no dealers for the normal man. You need to be a company in order to have it installed. Damn I think I'll move to Canada as soon as I'm graduated :o
@alexdrudigmail I don't have a wind turbine so I don't know. All I know is that I've read that my PV controller can also be used as a diversion controller for a wind turbine, i.e., it can operate in shunt mode whereby it connects a resistor to the source when the voltage gets too high because the source is generating more power than the load and batteries can absorb.
dude you're getting stiffed by the power company, that is not a bi-directional meter by the looks of it, it may be spinning backwards BUT the numbers arent rolling back, love the tower
They installed a bunch of turbines in PEI and they didn't work so the company went bankrupt. Our company is servicing them now, trying to fix them. Unplugged Power Systems in Moncton.
Ok, Yes off grid is smart in the case of power outage. But batteries are a min of 6000 xtra!!! And it has to be replaced every +5 years. I can buy a generator for 2000 to 3000 and it would last me foe ever!!! And if you are on off grid. what happens if the turbine breaks down? You should allways be connected to the grid
@coggy5 it does average more than that. Im with in 1.5 kilometers from the lake on a higher attitude. It gets windy here!!! All the time. We did some calculations and we were expecting 5 years... But in reality with some minor break downs and some wind storms we figure 6 t0 7 years comfortably. Within 10 hopefully. Im happy with it
skydive. at 1:46 to 2:01 the Wind speed is between 3 m/s to 4.1m/s. Do you know what that means? The wind is only 10 to 15 Kilometers per hour. Thats a breeze!! The RPM goes faster with more wind. This thing is designed to reach full power at 12 m/s thats 43 kiloneters. if you think that this turbine can't power your home than i suggest you come by and check it out your self. if i can't prove to you that it does then i'll pay for your travel. Also....
This is totally legal!!!! the power that is going back into the grid is been used by the surrounding homes in this area. Therefore the electrical company is getting this energy from me for free and then SELLING IT to my neighbours!!!
Yes, of course stay connected on grid, i just mean keep the power coming from the turbine OFF Grid. It's called best of both worlds, and no buddy. the batteries last more like 50 years, what kind are u lookin at? Batteries just take distilled water, thats what needs replacing...water!
Fetymann!!! You live in an Apartment!! All you need is maybe a 500W little turbine. To give you an Idea why i bought this unit I'm going to explain very briefly. My House is 3800 square feet of LIVING space. My electric bill is 400 to 500 a MONTH. Do the math, and then tell me how long wil it take to pay it off If it will produce 75% or better of the power that i need. P.S. I have no Gas. Over here Im paying .11cents or better per kilowatt with delivery charges.
More money than average hydro usage ? Not at all. Total cost for a system like this is an average of $3500 maybe less if you do alot of the work and if you can find a good bargain for one. I use to spend an average of $400 to $500 a month on Hydro. Average person spends roughly $150 to $200 tops? So $35000 divide by $175 = 200 monts. 200 monts= 16 years.
@mingosuzuki forget the haters, much better investment than a BMW that never pays itself off and depending how you look at it unless your wealthy this is just as or more cool than a 50k BMW.
nice there in my coutry you are not allowed to have that kind of thing without promission (3 to 5 years to get promission), and when you have your wind tourbine you have to sell produced electricity back to power plant a then you can buy it bac a bit cheaper,,,nice law we have...
Average person spends roughly $150 to $200 tops? So $35000 divide by $175 = 200 monts. 200 monts= 16 years. A system like this one would be able to Feed an "average" house and on top of that you can get paid for the access power produced with a special program.
10kW, so you'll get about 3kW average. 8760 hours per year gives you 26,280kWh per annum. By say 10c per kW = $2,628 per annum. Payback in what? 20 years!
1/2 acre lot? Mine is not much bigger than that. Its 3/4. Scam? Def not. These things do creat power!!!! there's no dought. THey don't creat full power all the time. So when you are considering a turbine make sure you get a good size for the amount of wind. The bigger you go the more power it creats during low winds. My wind speed here is rated at an average 5 to 7 meters per second
ITS SILLY..... Its silly to compare the current cost of a wind turbine to the future cost of electricity. Who's electrical bill has remand flat over the past 5 years. I myself have see a 15% annual increase in the cost per kilo watt hour...figure that into your calculation ans the solar or wind turbine your looking at gets a lot cheaper a lot faster.
set up cost was in the 30's. ReDriven from Canada set it up with a full package. Very happy with it. They are actually people that put their time and money into developing a safe and amazing machine that actually works very well. Soon you will see their controller in every wind turbine company.
Why do you have two Invertors ? and how fast is the response for the yawing system ?
that panel is actually a transfer switch that acts like a big shut off switch. So its basically a disconnect switch. We use them for hot tubs, air condition units and various outdoors uses. And yes its in Canada

A factor in that was the high interest rate the banks were paying in those days. Today it would be a better deal. I think you did a great job on your system. Any other videos of it?
cool stuff, must have been expensive but the world needs more people like you.
So you're running off your own elec and turning the meter backwards with whatever excess you aren't using? Are they buying it from you? So when the wind isn't blowing you are back to using the utility, correct? Do you use any sort of storage for the power or can you only run off it when the wind is blowing?

Please can you tell me, how deep is the concreted anchor hole for the footplate of the tower and how wide? How tall is your tower?
Thanks! Great video
Not sure about cina... But this turbine is from Redriven A canadian company that is taking off reall fast. They are based in Cornwall, Ontario. Near Toronto. But they service all over the world!!!!
Hi Ming,
Has the turbine ever ran at a maximum 10kw? I couldn't help noticing that the invertors power output was 1.2 kw each.
just for those who are unaware the inverter feeds power on the same freq back to the power company the way it works is like a biggy bank IF you make more than you use it goes back to the power company and yes they pay you for it BUT at the straight rate.... they add taxes fuel charges etc etc thier KWH may be for ex 0.12 cents from them to you and 0.07 cents from you to them.
Good work.from wich company is the wind ?
Also the power that the turbine produces has to be stored in batteries or grid. so when you need the power its there, and when you don't need the power it will be stored. your kettle doesnt run 24hrs does it?

looks nice but how much did it all cost?
hi
brother if you can let me know how much you spend for hardware i mean installation
included ? i want to buy one for my other home in pakistan.
thanks
wouldn't it be a good idea to pull the top pins and retract your rams? if those shafts begin rusting you can tear up the hydraulic seals.
I am interested in this option, but have couple of questions. Where did you purchase this system from, and who did installation for you? Thank you.
thanks for your comment regarding the tower. They actually have a 110 foot hydraulic tower now. The METER, the meter in the video is the old one.

The 3kw for 5 minutes that it takes to power the kettle can be re-supplied back into the grid over a short period of time.
How much does one of these wind turbines cost out of curiosity, I would really love one like a 10kw or 20kw or 40kw depending on price?
We have a 30k for about $38k Canadian. Unplugged Power systems.
So how much a set up like this will put you out initially?
I think you may get better sustain and less
long term maintenance from a barrel-type
instead of the fan-type blade.
No need to swivel with wind changes
Easier to add others next to it if needed
Is there any storage batteries ?
This is awesome! I'm really jealous right now. I'm very ignorant to this stuff, can you store power if you have a surplus? I'm assuming that your house automatically switches to and from the power grid depending on the wind??? just curious. Again, very cool :)

all in good time... the normal man will get his microgeneration. the future depends on it
Price? itwas about 30. But now i think its around 45 but the system has been upgraded tremendously . Taller towers too!!
mingosuzuk
30 what?
Really what does a this system cost?
this Redriven company doesn't exist anymore?
i cant find their website.
i want to buy two wind turbines like that.
can u help me?
thanks
Thanks for the reply, thats fine I just thought it was going close to full speed as it seems to be rotating fast for a large turbine.

thats right woooooppeeeee.... free power. Not worried about the "expensive" part. Do some research and then it doesnt become "expensive wind turbine" it will be more like " smart purchase and good deal"
@mingosuzuki factoring in the saving of buying energy?
@platinum243125 KW = KiloWatt = 1,000 watts. Remember, a kilo means 1,000 units or whatever, whether it be a kilometer, a kilogram, or a kilowatt. I hope this helps.

Comments please ???
What did the system cost?
i wonder what the electrical company will say about it, refund you money since you are making the meter going backwards.
I dont drive new cars nither they are all used lol or handme downs Im right now saving money up to build my own wind turbines ect and solar panel system but that inverter you had would be great also how much do those run and at least suplment some of my power to at least drop the cost of my bills and then use that to keep adding untile im off the grid I hate money hungry power and gas companys.
tecnicly your suposed to put a auto swich unit wit a batery that cuts off the power utility wen your not using it
better investment then a new car.
Isnt redriven out of business? Either way they simply re-label (OEM) an SWG Turbine. You can find SWG Turbines online for alot less
Wow, that's a very, very nice setup and very impressive power results. I couldn't hear anything you were saying in the wind though so unless you are speaking in braille there's no way to know what you have said. Regardless keep up the good work!
No. Excess power is pushed back into the grid
What you conveniently left out was the cost to you to purchase this hot commodity and its support equipment. I hear these things can run anywhere upwards of $300,000 each. Where's the payoff?
And it only took 5 years for them to drop to about a buck a watt.
Ours have been just a bit over that for 7 years or more (for large ones at least). Unplugged Power Systems in Moncton - they are about $38k for a 30kW system.
no. 10 kw means you can power appliances with a total of 10 kw maximum, for example just to give you an idea, your tv is 3kw, your aircon 5 kw, your lighting is 2 kw, sum it all, its 10kw, then those appliances can be powered by this generator. 10 kw is capacity of the gen. in 1 months you can use max 10kwx720hrs= 7200kwhr, u have 2410kwhr you said, then this gen exceed what you need, really good generator is it? just hope that wind is always good enough:D
the power that I feed back into the grid is given back to me in credits. They hold the credits for one year
Price?
thats exactly what they can do. feed-in tarriffs. we buy it at say 13pence/kwh they pay say 9pence/kwh with feed-in tarrifs
Man I want this too :s Why do we have such a stupid government in Belgium. It takes months to have a permission and then there are no dealers for the normal man. You need to be a company in order to have it installed. Damn I think I'll move to Canada as soon as I'm graduated :o

They installed a bunch of turbines in PEI and they didn't work so the company went bankrupt. Our company is servicing them now, trying to fix them. Unplugged Power Systems in Moncton.
Frank Black dam, that's too bad, looked good...
and those meters worked perfectly, too bad utilitiles are so dam controlling!

i love seeing this video clip. how can i email the owner about questions?
@coggy5 is it possible that uncle sam might issue tax incentives/credits for investing in one of these?
very cool man !!!! respect
Very nice.
Iam India in tamilnadu what it price 10kv

it would be great to aford one of those I have to do it the cheap way and build my own but the inverters woiuld be nice to have
I am envious, more power to ya...ah..no punn intended
Is That OffGrid🤔
@skydive9000 I have a 1.1kw model that boils a liter of water in 45 seconds, yours must be really inefficient, i suggest upgrading.
awesome dude
Yes, it means 10 kilowatts per hour.
Yes, of course stay connected on grid, i just mean keep the power coming from the turbine OFF Grid. It's called best of both worlds, and no buddy. the batteries last more like 50 years, what kind are u lookin at? Batteries just take distilled water, thats what needs replacing...water!
great machine finally the rest of the world is waking up
That's awesome.
Fetymann!!! You live in an Apartment!! All you need is maybe a 500W little turbine. To give you an Idea why i bought this unit I'm going to explain very briefly. My House is 3800 square feet of LIVING space. My electric bill is 400 to 500 a MONTH. Do the math, and then tell me how long wil it take to pay it off If it will produce 75% or better of the power that i need. P.S. I have no Gas. Over here Im paying .11cents or better per kilowatt with delivery charges.
They give me credits. They don't payback for excess credits. You would need a special licence, for Canada Ontario anyways.
More money than average hydro usage ? Not at all. Total cost for a system like this is an average of $3500 maybe less if you do alot of the work and if you can find a good bargain for one. I use to spend an average of $400 to $500 a month on Hydro. Average person spends roughly $150 to $200 tops? So $35000 divide by $175 = 200 monts. 200 monts= 16 years.
cool. very interesting !
@mingosuzuki forget the haters, much better investment than a BMW that never pays itself off and depending how you look at it unless your wealthy this is just as or more cool than a 50k BMW.
Wow, you bought an expensive wind turbine...woopee
nice there in my coutry you are not allowed to have that kind of thing without promission (3 to 5 years to get promission), and when you have your wind tourbine you have to sell produced electricity back to power plant a then you can buy it bac a bit cheaper,,,nice law we have...
Average person spends roughly $150 to $200 tops? So $35000 divide by $175 = 200 monts. 200 monts= 16 years. A system like this one would be able to Feed an "average" house and on top of that you can get paid for the access power produced with a special program.
what kind of name is mingosuzuki haha. sick windwill dom
From what I hear, Theres good news coming out about a new product from Redriven!!!
this movie is not an hour long. The "clock" no move too fast like u tink....
Thats one HAPPY CAMPER!!! LOL
10kW, so you'll get about 3kW average. 8760 hours per year gives you 26,280kWh per annum. By say 10c per kW = $2,628 per annum. Payback in what? 20 years!
Good
it might cost more than $10,000 i hope
@MattsFarm01 they have to pay you by law,in most states.
1/2 acre lot? Mine is not much bigger than that. Its 3/4. Scam? Def not. These things do creat power!!!! there's no dought. THey don't creat full power all the time. So when you are considering a turbine make sure you get a good size for the amount of wind. The bigger you go the more power it creats during low winds. My wind speed here is rated at an average 5 to 7 meters per second
$22,169.59 according to their homepage...
that is sweet
Hola en españa no permiten eolicos pequeños para casas solo grandes para grandes empresas
ITS SILLY.....
Its silly to compare the current cost of a wind turbine to the future cost of electricity. Who's electrical bill has remand flat over the past 5 years. I myself have see a 15% annual increase in the cost per kilo watt hour...figure that into your calculation ans the solar or wind turbine your looking at gets a lot cheaper a lot faster.
So even the Amis can live without atom Energy! I say it, because the Amis continuously laugh about the German way to say good bye to the atom Energy!
I'm the owner!!
