|
It may sound obvious, but before you invest in a wind turbine, it's important to know whether your site is windy enough! The only way to know for sure is to put up an anemometer (wind gauge) to measure the average wind speeds over as long as possible, then use this figure to work out how much power you might produce.
Anemometer with readout
This simple anemometer setup uses a cleverly-modified bicycle computer to display the live wind speed, and comes with 7.5 metres (25 ft) of wire. Simply attach the gauge to a pole or mast (see below for tower kit) [More Details...] £50.00
