All the details are in the video
Dry numbers and some conclusions:
1. S3, 1.3 m diameter, mounting height 5m. was standing still almost all of the time, since it is heavily wind-shaded these days, but even in that case it managed to output something.
day 1 - 0,04 kWh
day 2 - 0,04 kWh
day 3 - 0,02 kWh
total - 0,1 kWh
I won't be changing it's location, that's the place where it will live.
2. Slef-mader, 1.65 m dia, mounting height 5m. given the small height, and quite huge turbulence impact - the result is pretty decent.
day 1 - 0,31 kWh
day 2 - 0,84 kWh
day 3 - 0,34 kWh
total - 1,49 kWh
probably it will be moved on +1 m height in some time, also, I definitely see that it actually wants 2.0 or maybe even 2.3 dia wind wheel, no the 1.65. Reason is that the generator seems to be quite more powerful than the one from M3.
3. М3, 1.65 m dia, mounting height 10m. Looks ok, even great during the first day of work. But still, the issues are quite visible. The bigger tail plate and the longer tail is definitely required - it would've helped in those turbulent conditions.
day 1 - 1,14 kWh
day 2 - 0,37 kWh
day 3 - 0,17 kWh
total - 1,68 kWh
conclusion - tail work is required to achieve 5-5.5% of windwheel dia surface area and +40 cm to the total tail length
4. FT-1000, 2.5 m diameter, mounting height 9 m. It has been struggling all the three consecutive days, on a new controller, on a still-not-good cable (2.5mm2 only) that caused the power losses to be 25-40% only due to the cable fact.
day 1 - 0,59 kWh
day 2 - can't recall, but likely about 0,7kWh
day 3 - 0,68 kWh
total - 1,97 kWh
these are not the normal and standard measurements for this wind turbine, Earlier I have seen 2.5-3-3.5 kWh per day from it quite often, but in that case it was working through the blue grid-tie inverter. So it requires some thinking, whether this controller should be actually sold...

2. https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DCm... - green charge controller for 12/24/48 v system with WiFi-module, the one I mentioned in the end of a video, that is already on its way to me.
