Turbotricity

We went to Bantry Show with our turbine last weekend. There was huge interest in the turbine, particularly amongst farmers interested in doing part of the installation themselves.

In the picture, you can see the finished version of our turbine, complete with its cowling, pinnacle wing etc. Although the resolution on the photo isn’t great, the board at the back shows, clockwise from top-left; Controller (built in Durrus, Co. Cork), Inverter, Resistive load, and wind interface. These components can be mounted inside the house, or if preferred in a custom-made box outside, under the eaves of the roof.
