I am going to put up a wind generator and for now would like to tie it to the grid to feed back into the system. I am thinking about trying the cups, like they use to tell the wind speed. They will be bigger of coarse. What do you all think of using that set up. Instead of blades. That way don't have to worry about wind direction and wires getting twisted up. Your thoughts.
See the VAWTS section: http://forums.windynation.com/community/forums/all-about-vawts.18/ Since It appears that is what your proposing that section may answer some if not all your concerns. I believe the cups may be a issue in high wind conditions.
