d400 wind gen (was) Wind Gen
Why would I want a D400 vs a SuperWind? To me it looks like the output
of the D400 is at least 20% lower than the Superwind at normal wind speeds. Sure I see that at above ~30 kts the D400 is better, but that's an anomoly. http://superwind.com/gfx/charging_b.jpg "Flying Pig" wrote in : PS links to D400: http://www.duogen.co.uk/d400/images/D400man.pdf manual http://www.d400.co.uk/ home page Note from US distributor: On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 10:53 AM, Flying Pig wrote: Hi, Larry, I've received a glowing recommendation for the D400.
