Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Enercon builds good machines. I work for a company in the US that makes utility scale direct drive perm magnet turbines. I always thought small turbines would start to emulate big ones but I see the opposite happening. 2.2 MW gen that turns at 15 rpm can be quite a sight for sure.
