Your Questions About Wind Generators For Sale

admin answers:

1KW will run quite a few low energy lamps, plus a computer, TV or HiFi etc.

It would not run an electric kettle or or anything else much in the way of heating appliances.

The BIG problem you will have is that a ‘1KW’ wind generator will probably only average 100W on a good day.

Look very carefully at the ratings and figures of the device before you spend any money.
Some of the generators on sale only give the headline rating if mounted on a tall mast on top of a hill & with a gale force wind…

They put windfarms in open spaces & on tall masts for good reason. The airflow near buildings & obstructions is generally so turbulent it’s a waste of time trying to use a small wind generator in a town.

Do some research and find reports from other people who have bought the one you are looking at first, otherwise you are likely to pay out more than you can save in electricity over the lifetime of the machine.

There are a multitude of misconceptions about the Amish. Here are just a few:

The Amish don’t use any modern technology – FALSE. The Amish are selective about the technology they use. They tend to reject technology that they feel would have a significant negative impact on their lifestyle, but are accepting of technology they do not see a problem with. Also, what technology is accepted and what is rejected depends on the Amish affiliation and each individual church community.

The Amish feel electricity is evil – FALSE. This has to be the most ridiculous of all the misconceptions. Most Amish (but not all) do not want electricity supplied by utility companies in their homes. They do, however, use some electrical devices where they can generate the power themselves through the use of gasoline generators or battery (which they charge using solar or wind power). They also do not want natural gas lines into their homes from utility companies, but readily use bottled gas (propane).

The Amish produce all of their own food and clothing – FALSE. I live in an area with a very large Amish population. I see Amish people in supermarkets and department stores all the time. The local Walmarts have tie ups for the horse and carriages.

The Amish do not use modern medicine or doctors – FALSE. The Amish have no aversion to modern medical practices or medicines at all. They go to doctors when they need to. They are hospitalized when it is required. Some Amish women still use midwives for birthing, but many use doctors and give birth in hospitals, especially for difficult pregnancies.

The Amish live communally without any outside contact – FALSE. Amish families live in their own private homes on their own private land. They own private businesses or work outside of the homes and manage their own finances. They keep bank accounts and take out loans for homes or business. They participate in many community activities with the general public, especially those that involve charity work.

The Amish don’t pay taxes – FALSE. The Amish pay all income, property, and sales taxes. They can claim an exemption from Social Security with-holdings under certain circumstances (are self employed or work for an Amish owned business), but if they do then they can never collect any SSI benefits either, and are therefore not a burden to the SSI system.
