07/22/2009 08:48 PM Dave, Thankyou for all the good info on wind generators. I have heard of wind generators up to 1.25mw. Do you know of any larger than that? I will try and contact some of the manufacturers you mentioned. On my project. a generator that turned at 60rpm would be better than one turning 900rpm. Thankyou Al

alrampone wrote: Dave, let me pick your brain about wind energy. What is the largest KW generator your devices can run? What rpm must the generator turn to produce electricity? Who are some of the US manufactures of the generator? By the way, I've been to the Air Force Museum, AWESOME!!! Only one better place, Silverhill MD. About 12 large hangers where they rebuild planes for the Smithonian. You can talk to the A&Ps. Its by appointment only. Thankyou Al

Dave, my name is Al Rampone. I am a retired helicopter pilot. I am part of a group building a 30ft diameter pnumatic water wheel. It will develope 5,475hp at 8 rpm. It should run a 3.75mw generator and provide clean electricity to 3,600 American homes. These devices can be placed in industrial parks next to the end user. This will eliminate long transmission lines. (the grid)

Thanks for the note! I'm just "getting here", just registered today. I don't have any current projects that I'm working on, hope to get into the business tho. Do know a couple of other retired helicopter pilots, being from Dayton (Home of the Air Force)... I'm only a fixed wing pilot, VFR at that (sunday afternoon, rubber band, puddle jumper type!). Will look forward to some pictures of your project, when you get them. I remain mostly interested in wind energy now.... being familiar with planes. I know the PV cells too but just don't get as interested in them.
