Hi litespeed, thank you for your comment the blades are made out of 6 inch pipe, dc2000, first of all welcome to gotwind, and thank you for your comments, and its good to know that I made someone became interested in this mad hobby, and yes it is addictive once your brain starts to think about wind turbines for the first time, there is no turning back, you are hooked but it feels good to see your finished project spinning at 400 to 500 rpms and loads of power going into a battery, plus if something goes wrong with it, because you built it, you hopefully will know how to fix it by yourself, and if help is needed, there is always this amazing website
cheerio

That is a pretty good video for being at night time. What were your winds like? Looks like you were having some pretty steady winds.
I can't remember from all your videos... Are you using 6" or 8" pipe for your blades? Assuming you still have your modified blade on the Ametek.
Would like to see a shot of the towers in the day time.
