Smaraad X3 - my experience with the small vertical wind turbine. It is so good!! That I want to..

The original action takes place in July 2023, when my first WT arrived, and it appeared to be a small vertical X3 model.

Link to the inverter (definitely good one, proven to work with my other WT, as you may have already seen in my other videos): https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DD0...
Link to the turbine (however, I do not recommend it): https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DnK...

Now to explain a bit about the rotor and the generator.
Rotor (or windwheel) is Darrieus-type, it is quite good per its capabilities with its theoretical wind energy conversion coefficient of 16% (compare it to the 9% of Savonius type of wind turbine like TESUP or HARMONY, or to 42-45% of any normal horizontal wind turbine type).
It can theoretically output the following (due to its quite small size, being only 750x490 mm in area):
at 3m/s -1 watt
at 4 m/s - 2 watts
at 5 m/s - 4 watts
at 6m/s - 10 watts
7 - 18
8 - 27
9 - 40
10 - 55
11 - 73
etc...

However, the generator is not good at all... It does not provide any realistic voltage. Reasons are simple:
1. The stator has too few coils
2. Magnets are too small
So the generator does not have enough electromotive force produced...

I will tinker with it a bit later on, and will try to do some mods, however, that will be later, and only if I have enough time and enough motivation.
