SWIFT:


For those interested in and/or doubtful about the "Swift" 
wind turbines see his comments (and photos) on the above 
page.

Also note his comments on urban windspeeds - which he says 
are in reality typically half the DTI / NOABL suggested 
speeds = 1/8 the power expected. (as power scales as V^3).

FREE GUIDELINES:

Here are not only upgraded BRE wind speed guides  but also a 
free set of guidelines for contractors re design, supply, 
installation and commissioning of micropower systems. Brief 
but useful.
