Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

I never thought about altitude adjustments.....but that makes perfect sense!! Not sure about the liquid filled gauge either.....dang..... more to study and learn about!!!!!........but I will say that I was shocked at how "cheap" it was to add this instrument and tubing during the well pump change ...

Yikes.....more than several weeks have gotten away from me since I said I would post a photo of the gauge that my well pump installer added to my deep well setup.....take a look at the image....below the scale for PSI is a scale for feet of water......by charging the schrader valve with compressed ...

Interesting topic......I put a new deep well system in last year as a part of my off grid utility system, and for an extra $55 (yes,,,,$55.....) the pump installer put a 1/4 inch diameter vinyl tube along side the electric wires that went down the well bore. This was run into the "well house" and ...

Wow. That tower and tank are truly a thing of beauty!!! if it was a bit closer to South West Missouri I would be all over it!!!!! What woman would not love her man for providing gravity feed water to an indoor bathroom!!!

Well.....some questions answered......more questions raised!!!

The good folks at Winco are digging around.....looking for relevant information that may be buried in their files!!!

A bit of information has appeared in the form of a schematic for a machine similar to the W1500.....and it turns out ...

As I research the W1500 machine, in a response from Winco, this brochure page was shared.......and I must say......after flying machines from the 1930's and 1940's, and then drifting away from wind machines some time ago.....I had no clue that Wincharger made such a "modern" machine........see ...

After 35 plus years, this Wincharger W1500 is now out of it's crate!!
There are five slip rings in the rear of the generator and in the lolly shaft assembly.....a positive, a negative, and three marked thus: "G1", a "G2", and a "G3". Three Ground Wires???
I am still hopeful that some literature ...

Here are a couple of images of the W1500 in the crates......the props and governor are exactly like the "old machines", except the governor cover nosecone is molded plastic not pressed and shaped sheet metal.

However, the gear case and chassis casting is much bigger, longer, and more robust than ...

Good morning, Mike.
There was not a controller with the Lynden machine.....but in the grand scheme of hurdles......it is one I can solve!!
I bought the 1222H and 2422H machines simply due to the desire to fly "one more Wincharger.......", then the W1500 came along.......
There are some photos on ...

Greetings......I recently purchased a New Old Stock, still in the original crate, Wincharger W1500 (a 1500 watt, 24 Volt DC, Four Bladed Wind Generator)........this machine is from the Dyna Technologies era......supposedly manufactured in 1985. Included, also in original crating, were two complete ...
