The wind turbine must be as high as possible. and as said above, that we can "visit" it regularly.

A friend of mine who built his wooden house installed a nearby wind turbine, a 300W Rutland.
He mounted it on a 60mm tube mast (I think).
The 9-meter mast is held by 3 guy lines.

The bottom of the mast is made with 2 U between which the mast is held by bolts.
By removing the bolts except one, we can tilt the mast and "lower" the wind turbine to check it.

Basically, I agree with Citro :D without being a specialist ... I just read and listened to lived experiences.
Example, do you want to rent a machine to control your wind turbine?
OK .. but what if it makes a weird noise? are you going to rent a lift?
No, there must be an easy system to control.
It's doable; leave to create a new post to solve this problem :D

By dint of suggestions we will end up finding THE solution !!

I think I do like this:
- 1st fixing + silent block at the pinion failure
- 2 nd fixing + silent block to the right of the 1st floor placher
- the base of the mast will be sealed in reinforced concrete under 1m in the ground.
and for more precaution 2 guy wires fixed from the 2nd fixing (1st floor floor).

What do you think ?

I attach a photo of the installation of the pinion purlin on the load-bearing walls of the 1st floor:

: Idea: Finally ... if it vibrates too much, you disassemble, and you make the Citro system? no ?
But I insist, you have to have access to the mechanics of the wind turbine in a practical way.
PS1 the weekend, there is less passage on the internet ...
PS2 it's good to share your experiences :D

Good morning all .
I am installing my 10 KW wind turbine with a 12 meter conical self-supporting mast (it weighs 1300 kgs by itself), the foundations are 8 m3 therefore 17 tonnes of concrete.

you can go to my blog, I explain everything, there are photos.

for your installation, I personally advise you not to fix your wind turbine to your house.
already in terms of wind is not good at all, the turbulence related to your house will be very harmful to the proper functioning of your wind turbine, the wind will not be regular at all.
secondly, the vibrations caused, even weak ones, will have repercussions on the structure of your house.
as for the mat to support it, I advise you to go to the different sites and see what type of mat they use.

we can not imagine the efforts that wind turbines make to mast, so pay attention to that.
It will be a shame if you find everything on the ground after a bit of strong gale.

Hello everyone.

That's done.
The wind turbine which sat in the living room, turns proudly on its mast: stable, very sensitive since it turns in light winds, and silent as a "whisper".
No significant vibration in the house thanks to the silent block of truck which was installed between the mast and the purlin and the foot which was sealed under 1m of concrete.
Total weight of the whole 130kg, this kind of fixing is ultimately very satisfactory question strength, minimal nuisance even non-existent, and its aesthetics does not shock anyone.
Question efficiency, it turns wonderfully and my 4 batteries were charged in less than 15 hours - it must be said that I am in a very windy region (limit Eure and Eure et loir).
Some photos speak louder than words ...

Well, if that can encourage any motivated person ...

By the way, my wind turbine is a 100 (not 1000) whisper!

Interesting! :D
Keep giving your impressions, your results (for others who read you)
So, for now, the vibrations seem acceptable.
Are you already sleeping in this house?
A detail that upsets me:
I saw the photo of the silent block… it seems to me that the metal part is fixed on the wood using screws? IMHO, it would be good to replace these screws with bolts that cross the beam right through ... zuper important for the futurrr;

Bonjour.
It's been a day that the wind turbine turns, when it is fully, we feel tiny vibrations in the mast, but none on the breakdown, or in the house.
And we've been sleeping with the wind turbine in place for one night: no noise or vibration nuisance. The wind turbine makes a noise of rustling "leaves" very bearable and in no way annoying!

The silent block is fixed on a shoe itself solidly screwed by 3 screws on either side of the breakdown, it is in my opinion very solid ...

The silent block is fixed on a shoe itself firmly screwed by 3 screws on either side of the purlin, it is in my opinion very solid ...

Put in bolts, it's not a lot of work, in 5, even ten years, you will have surprises.
A screw tears off suddenly; not a bolt running right through your wooden beam.
For the rest, I'm super happy for you with the results :D
I'm jealous :D
PS I haven't seen a weirdly inclined stainless steel fireplace : Cheesy:

I'll think about it but it's not easy to return the top !!!

When the fireplace is named Pisa !!!
Obviously it is very straight, just an effect related to the perspective of the photo ... : Cheesy: : Cheesy: : Cheesy:

Say, Atqui,
It seems to me that you don't say everything about your nest ...
You have used the latest technologies with regard to energy, energy conservation (solar panels for example); are there any other good things you are hiding? :D
