I went down and visited Roger Crouse and his wife on South Beaver Center Rd. They had the ‘SKYSTREAM 3.7 windmill’ installed on their property in October. I was interested in how it works.

They have only had it installed 4 months and said they have saved 20% on their electric bill. Theirs is a small 400 units an hour if the wind is 12 miles an hour. It starts working when the wind gets up to 8 miles an hour and shuts off at 140 miles an hour. It is silent, I had heard they were noisy but I could not even hear it.

It will take a while to pay for its self, but eventually they will get a lot of free electricity. It uses the energy from the windmill first than when there isn’t enough wind the electric kicks in.

Thanks neighbors for the information.

HAPPY SPRING! I sure am glad that snow is gone.
