Last week I had a chance to field test my new Windwalker 250 RV Wind Turbine while boondocked near Zion National Park in Southern Utah. The wind turbine is made by Free Spirit Energy, an American company based out of Las Vegas, Nevada. At 35 knots, the wind turbine is rated to produce 255 watts, 30 volts, and 8.5 amps.
My apologies for the audio quality near the end of the video. It was very windy that day as you can tell. Honestly, you didn’t miss much commentary. In that part of the video I was simply describing how I installed the mast and how quickly the unit is installed. You can put it up and take it down in less than a minute.

i was wondering how much noise the thing made. it is an interesting product and something to think about if you live in an area or travel to an area that is known for winds. unfortunately, i could not make out everything you said because of the wind noise with the camera. thanks for posting it though. again, its an interesting idea for sure.
