Slept near one , one windy night. ANNOYING as hell!
Plus, I hated walking past the thing, as he docked stern in and it was close to neck height. -- Scott Vernon Plowville Pa _/)__/)_/)_ "Barry Gordon" wrote in message ... I'm more than a little disappointed with the quality of the responses. It's obvious that most of you are commenting on something you know nothing about. I've had my ear fifteen feet from a spinning Ampair, Aero4gen, and Aero6gen on a fifteen to twenty knot day and didn't hear a thing. We're going to be living on the boat for months, so I take the comments about the, 'need', for electricity on my boat with the same interest as if you were telling me I don't need electricity in my home. Don't bother replying to this - I won't be reading them. I won't even ever look at this group again. |

Some of us took your OP seriously and a sincere discussion did happen. If you didn't get the answer you wanted, then keep looking, but don't blame others for saying what's on their minds (or if you do blame others, don't expect anyone to care or change what they have to say). By the way - do the manufacturers specs not speak for themselves in terms of performance? If so, what else besides personal opinions would you expect to find here? I like the idea of "free" energy and I said so. I can't tell you much more, but if the day should come where I spend longer periods on my boat, I am glad to know the downside of wind generated electric. This is a good group and very knowledgeable, don't throw out the baby with the bath water. Think solar ... |

My paranoia about them is whirring, large blades within a few feet of my
