Hi,
I just found an interesting wind generator on Ebay USA.
Have a look here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290002610163 (http://partners.webmasterplan.com/click.asp?ref=284148&site=1382&subid=&type=text&tnb=32&diurl=http%3A%2F%2Fadfarm.mediaplex.com%2Fad%2Fck%2F707-3922-3266-17%3Fmpro%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcgi.ebay.com%252Fws%252FeBayISAPI.dll%253FViewItem%2526item%253D290002610163)
if you like it , but miss the sale, the guy has a website where he sells them. http://www.mikeswindmillshop.com/index.html priced as good as hornet or a little better.
Not a bad price for that size unit, I wish I could find something that small that would be worthwhile for a class 1 area instead of 3+ though like that one requires. Doubt it will happen though.

have a look at this page http://www.survivalunlimited.com/hornetwindturbine.htm
"OSPRAY" same basic unit, but windings just a bit different and larger rotor. very informative, at least.
Looked at the link. Not a bad price for a very low wind speed machine . I liked the blade only prices too but they want far too much for the plain steel hubs as far as I'm concerned.... I might get a set of the blades from them though as I've been wanting to try a small air compressor with wind blades for powering another project .
