Your Questions About Wind Turbines Colorado

Mark asks…

Do you purchase only US-made goods? Is it a solution to many of the problems the USA faces?

Seems like if we all purchased only goods made in the USA, it would certainly benefit our country….more jobs, more money kept here at home, etc. Do you make a point to only purchase US-made goods so that you are part of the solution instead of being part of the problem?
Reading over the first few answers, I am ASTONISHED at the responses! Is this the Twilight Zone or something?

Your Questions About Wind Turbine Generators

John asks…

how hard would it be to modify a wind turbine or gas generator?

I have been looking into alternate energy forms lately and have put lot of effort into researching how to make my own solar panels. then i got a great ideal. what if i took a wind turbine and rigged it up with neodynium magnets instead of fanblades so that it would spin constantly or what if i took a gas powered generator and rigged it to run using magnets instead? Can anyone tell me if this is possible or if there are any do-it-yourself blueprints already out there?

Sandy asks…

Why is a low starting torque bad for a wind turbine?

Hey. I’m doing a proposal project for my technical writing class and I’m doing it on wind turbines. What I would like to know is why I have been reading that a low starting torque is a detrimental quality to a Darrieus-type vertical axis wind turbine. Wouldn’t this mean that the turbine can start very easily and generate power more often? Does it have something to do with a lot of variability in the generator’s speed because the turbine can start generating power so easily? Thank you.
