       500 Watt design

       How big does a Lynx Gull need to be to produce 500 watts?  Of
       course power is dependent on wind speed, but lets assume a good
       26-28 mph wind.
       6 feet tall blades x 6 foot wide (diameter)  The blades would be
       8" long Chord.  The hub and alternator would need to be strong
       with a 3/4" shaft 10" long down into the Hub.
       It would be turning a bit slower than a Gull 160, rpm range
       80-300 rpm.

       Hi, I tried a 6 foot x 6 foot, I had poor results. Do you plan
       to increase the number of blades?
