[QUOTE="aussiefarmer, post: 641944, member: 5729"] Half the 6 small scale turbines I know of flying bits had brake systems and they still flapped them selves to smithereens in 100+ kph winds. These turbines had blades from 500mm up to 2meters. Most threw blades off and one folded the tower over. I love the technology and the idea of wind power but the small scale ones cannot withstand extreme winds, until they make them with rotating blades to adjust how much wind they catch like the big ones they just can't take the freak storms. If you go real small scale you can probably pull it down hinge it so you can lay it down depending on forecasts. [/QUOTE]
