The
Power Disc AL Click on the image above to view larger image. I am one of the many people that think the old water windmill on the open prairie is a beautiful site. The more I looked at my blades the more I could picture a beautiful wind generator in the air with the traditional look of yesteryear. So after lots of testing for the dreaded multiple
centers of gravity which plagues most any even numbered rotor out
there and brings the death to many home built generators, I found I
must eat my words spoken about my Quadraflex AL. We had winds here between 6 to 15 mph so I ran the
Power Disc AL on my 4 to 1 gear head I have with the Boss99. This rotor could do up to 6 to 1 gear up on the
Ametek 30 or 40 basically tripling your output in winds less than 12
mph. The Power Disc AL has a rotational start speed of 3.2 mph on an Ametek 40 and has rotational torque to produce usable energy at 4 mph for a gear up of 2 to 1, it goes up from there. The Power Disc AL is 68" (5' 8") in diameter and weighs about8 .0 pounds assembled. See some of my rotors in action.
