good pictures, how much rated power of this wind turbine? 500w or 1kw?

Thanks!

The turbine is a 2.4m turbine. Its rated at 500W but it will only do this in a really high wind. I managed to get 500W out of it briefly the other day http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/sites/default/files/windout.png

A more useful measure is the avarage energy per day: from Hugh Piggotts wind turbine manual for the 2.4m design in an avarage windspeed of 11mph:

Avarage power: 100W
Energy per day: 2.5kWh
Amphours at 12V: 200Ah
