we can't understand how it works on this link.

but here : http://www.amazighs.fr/leolienne-la-moi ... n-tunisie/
we read :

..... the Saphonian totally rejects the old rotary blade system and replaces it with a new non-rotary system, largely inspired by sailboats. The company explains that instead of spinning the blades, the wind is captured by an immobile cylindrical veil fixed to the top of a metal foot. When the wind blows, the entire foot tilts and a piston system returns it to its original position. Such a movement follows a knot path and allows the conversion of the majority of kinetic energy into mechanical energy (using the pistons). This same energy would then be converted by storable hydraulic pressure, or into electrical energy.

Tunisian invention.

But we are hungry, no mention of the power of such a wind turbine.

one more thing with the performance of a bicycle dynamo !!

on the other hand I wonder if this kind of model: NHEOWIND is valid, I see it turning when others are stopped around me. but the form is "space"

+1
With a constant wind, the arm remains tilted, in this case there is no more energy recovery. We can only recover from the intermittences of the wind

on the other hand I wonder if this kind of model: NHEOWIND is valid, I see it turning when others are stopped around me. but the form is "space"

If we compare the 1.5 kw model àPiggot 1.7 kw
We see that at 4m / s of average wind, the first produces 3000 kwh / year (manufacturer's brochure) and the piggot 2000 kwh / year.

Nheowind 3D50 test report.
Sepen measurement <400 kwh / year at 4m / s, advantage at Piggot

I like the Piggott, it's baroque but do-it-yourself, on the other hand, Hugh Piggott announces delusional manufacturing costs I think. Pity.

I would like to "find" the plans, it plugs me for a long time.

but OK. We'll do it later.

i have too many stuff waiting

on the other hand, I would like to know the number of turns and the diameter of the son that this little genius uses?

he is too strong and tinkers as I like.
to also look at its multi-fuel burner and its solar thermal panel.
