Hello Our company is doing a project for a customer that need a windmill style blade. We need about a 13 foot dia. blade assembly. Where is a cost effective place to by these ? We do not have the time to manufacture it. Also the wind speed of our customer is quite high, 55mph Should we be looking at a certian type of blade angle or surface area ? thanks for any input. mark |

Hi Mark. Need a bit more info. What is the windmill powering? Will you need a low speed high torque turbine, to pump water, or a high speed turbine for power generation. 55MPH is very fast. Is that a constant speed or peak. Glenn The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |
