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.

Hi. I am working on a turbine from which I am going to be able to get an F+P motor to spin at about 600rpm. I am going to have two of them on a shared axle. Because it is a VAWT so I can experiment with different setups at ground level, Would I be best to start with staggered stator setup? How much is it theoretically possible, in watts, to get from a standard smartdrive, if it is doing around 600rpm? Cheers from Melbourne on Grand Final morning, jeeez its cold.

Technology has the advantage that it is 'real'. Theories, even laws, are ultimately only our best current model. Consequently, inevitably they will eventually be replaced with a better model

600 RPM from a vawt that can overcome the cogging of 2 Smart drives? That sounds very impressive, do you care to share how you are doing that?
