This is it before it was raised.
I simply cannot keep up with repairs or even the maintenance on this size machine. I cannot handle the head and raising it is simply too much for me alone and I work alone most of the time.
So, with smashed blades and bent mast I just cannot justify the effort and expense to resurrect it. I do not think it has any damage to the head or tail just lost the blades.
While I certainly appreciated its contribution to our power needs I simply cannot justify the hassle (for me) of dealing with a larger machine. I want to add more solar since it just needs to be properly installed once and "just works".
I would like to get around $2000 for the head, hub plates and tail. I think it would go on a long pallet for motor freight or could be picked up F.O.B. NE Iowa. I guess the head alone weighs around 100#. Took 2 young healthy guys to put it on the tower stub and while I can lift it I cannot "handle" it.
Not sure what it was rated at but it has pushed well over 2.5 KW into my 24 volt batteries according to the Doc Wattson on it.
It was a workshop built turbine I got from Dan Bartmann and it had been in use a couple years here before it came down.
Here are photos of the parts when delivered:
Here it is assembled after it was built with the group that built it:
I do not know the specs like magnet size but could go measure them if anyone is actually interested.
Here it is after it crashed it seems the blades took the brunt of the damage the rotors turn true and free and no bent parts I could see:
Anyway, if you want more info I will do my best to get it.
