Wind turbine fun!!!

[Halfcrazy]

So I put my home brew turbine up but screwed up the power curve. I had the curve real flat so the amperage in the stator was pretty high. Then we got 80MPH wind. Right before it blew up we saw 4300 watts

Well at least the bearing stood up to those hi winds and rotor speed (RPM)

You are really having more fun than is legal there!

I thought your job was destroying controllers not turbines?

Now you don't even have to burn the copper first to take it to the scrap yard.

Well I was suffering a smoke deficiency.

Actually it was quite fun to watch once you got past the "its toast" part. Smoke, Fire and all spewing for a good 10 minutes. I cant believe I wasnt smart enough to grab the cell and video it...
