Not yet, but I found a 1700 watt 24 volt unit for about $350, that will generate 450 watts at the average wind speed here. The second I will build (new design).
:D

sir smithlabs..what kind of unit? are we talking about windmills?

Yes there is a small business up in Mo. that makes their own wind generator using proven technology. They are not bleeding edge, but they are cutting edge.
My design is newer.

ok sir smithlabs but we are still talking about windmills here right?

No, a windmills pumps water or mills grain; low speed, geared down for high torque, low efficiency; flat blade shape. Output is usually a pump or grinder stone intended to do mechanical work on site.
A wind generator makes power, high speed, high efficiency, geared up for moderate torque; air foil blade shape. output is usually uses a PM Generator with slanted poles to reduce cogging, intended to make power for use or storage.

okay sir smithlabs so these big commercial wind towers are wind generators, not windmills?

Absolutely they use windmills in Holland.
Power is produced by wind generators, totally different machines, for totally different uses. I would like to make those horizontal axis wind generators obsolete!

what??? and you have a plan or a design that could make them obsolete?

Yes, I have a design for a vertical axis machine based on a Darrieus rotor, that will be several times more efficient. I was stumped for years over rotor air foil shape (the perfect shape is expensive to test) until Sandia Labs in Albuquerque published their research on this shape. They are a government lab, so their research is public domain.
Their cost, 5 million dollars, my cost, zero;problem solved, ROFLOL!They were trying to solve the stalling problem, and got lost in the wasteland of restarting a stalled rotor. I just designed the stall out entirely! This new design will be several times more efficient than the modern wind generators. It can also be made in house sizes, and remain efficient. And it never has to turn into the wind.
