egg-beater style windmill

would like to know why these were discontinued, and if anyone has one or more they would like to part with. parts are okay, as long as they will fit together. a working model would be great, however we can't always get what we want.

Re: egg-beater style windmill

I have heard tht these require a starter for low velosity winds. Tower turbine requires much lower speed to run. IMR. am interested in specs of your machine, pics? plans?

Re: egg-beater style windmill

Dear Leonard

I currently own 8 Deralius (eggbeater style)wind turbines. They stand 32 meters high, have a max blade radius of 23 meters and produce 150 kw @ 460 volts. They are currently grid connected. They do require an electric motor to start them turning. However that is all handled through the switch gear. The motor turns the rotating member up to 1750 rpms then cuts out. The wind then takes over and the motor switches over to a generator. The generator then runs at 1840 rpms. The system I have works OK but it is a very manual operation. You have to turn the switch on to start and off to stop it. The new systems are fully automated. This system could very easily be converted but we have moved onto bigger projects and they now sit idle. If you are interested in seeing them I can email you some pics and discuss a price at that time.
