Re: hi-vawt build

Looks pretty windy in that video hel.
The turbine looks to be doing around 200 rpm (total guess).

If your treadmill motor will cut-in somewhere near that you won't have to gear up (the prefered option).
Keep us posted on your build.

I have just bought this Digital Laser Photo Tachometer, a very handy addition to the toolbox.
