Okay, not particular to F&P but that's what I am targetting for my first serious power generator. My question is: Is there a formula to define the minimum, optimum, and maximum blade lengths for a given motor in a given wind? I know the formula for figuring out potential power of a wind swept area but I haven't been able to find anything that says for a given HP rating or V/A/W capacity here is how large of a wind-swept area to get X volts/watts out. I'm hoping there's something relatively simple. I'm pretty good at algebra but calc and tric are right out. 
Thanks, -Brian V Hillsboro, OR (USA) KF7DUZ |

Look at This Several pages by the top of the hill Gang, trying to answer that question. Lot of good stuff here. Good choice on the F&P.Much more Info on upgrading this one. Roe - in Seattle. Time has proven that I am blind to the Obvious, some of the above may be True? |
