New to green energy there are a lot of people who may not understand wind turbine blades. What to look for in a wind generator blade. So here are some things that should be given consideration to help make a more informed choice in the blade design blade type blade manufacturer and size.
In this example lets say you already own an Air 403 or Air-X 403 and you want to use these as replacement blade. Which in my own case is how I got started selling these as the Authorized Exclusive Alaska State dealer of them.
I digress.. Lets say you've never changed the blades on an Air 403 to a different kind or size of wind blade. If you go larger you need to think of all your aspects.
Not only that you've increased the square inches that get turned into more power - but also that the Air 403 IS NOT designed for these.
For one thing. If you increase the size of your wind turban blade you must also increase the area behind them steering them into the wind. Meaning you need to increase your tail size or your machine may show you it wants to run in reverse due to the surface area of the spinning and non spinning blade being larger than the Air 403 was designed for.
So if you increase your wind generator blade size = Increase your tail size.
Or in the case of the Hornet wind turbine the tail size is less important (thus a lighter weight turbine to raise up when your raising your pole). Due to the curved tail design vs flat one its very easy to understand when looking at one. you have more than one FLAT surface angle. as in directly facing the wind. you don't have one flat surface you now have 3.
And the sooner you turbine faces the wind the sooner it can start spinning folks. As anyone who has watched you wind generator knows. Also means your going to catch the wind sooner than if they are not spinning when that wind speed IS sufficient to generate power.
So increase your tail size to over balance the surface area of your blades.
Next. Lets say you put 6 of these blades on an Air 403 and made them larger and longer than the standard 403 turbine blade. Thats a LOT more power your going to be making with it.
So if you use the automatic brake by shorting out the power wires you risk damage to the machine which again was NOT designed for longer and more blades.
Which is likely why I think the moment you use these on your Air 403 or Air-X 403 as replacement blades you instantly make your warranty null and void. (not that I know that for sure - it would be local though. Any time you alter a product from its intented designed for use.
So in this case use caution when you change or replace wind generator blades from the original design of the machine.
And try to understand ALL the aspects of one change to a whole system.
