The Jacobs 20kw wind turbine is a formidable grid tie energy addition to any home or business. As the largest of what is considered a residential turbine, the massive Jacobs 31 foot diameter propeller starts power production at only 5 to 6 mph and produces rated power at only 26 mph. Power is transmitted thru a step up gear head to the (oversized) 30kw Onan alternator which is mounted in the stub frame of the turbine. Since the alternator is mounted in the tower it minimizes weight and inertia on the rotating head of the turbine, thus allowing extremely accurate tracking (yaw) of even very low winds. The Jacobs 20kw is the quietest of wind turbines, not even audible under most conditions.
