BUYING a wind Generator tips on what to buy .....awesome !!!!


Just a little history , I bought 3 wind generators from 3 different companies over 18 years and they all failed in 2 to 5 yrs . On one of my trips back to china[where I lived and worked for 22yrs ] I passed a Factory that made Wind generators , I stopped in and had improvements made so it would be come a  real marine harsh enviroment generator …and that’s this all started ….the generators , the pvc inflatables , the solar panels , desalinators , dorados , solar vents , hard shell dinghys ,all came from my need to get great quality equipment at affordable pricing  for myself , then the guy in the slip next to me said " Can you get me one ...and so on and so on   ….[ so I thought to myself  hey I am already in china …..why not make my passion my life work ....lol ]  www.botcwindsolar.com 

Wind Generators :
I found out that most companies were using a standard roller bearing , not lip sealed so I had them put in a NSK radial lip seal bearing for harsh enviroments

Then I had them replace the buna nitrate oring with a Viton oring for harsh enviroments


Then I had the housing mounting plates moved so the motor was evenly balance onto the mounting bracket .......all units I brought that failed had a severe balance problem

The housing unit I had changed to be enclosed thus improving life

The motor ....I had them hand wound or slow wound so the copper content is higher and will last longer


The blades were then changed to a more long lasting composite material for longer life and to maintain balance

then I included a controller that just wires up easiliy ........

Then we placed several units on supply boats here in the Gulf and we have had no mechinical failures in 3 yrs .We have produced around 3478 units to date .I offer a 3 yr warranty so you get the harsh marine enviroment unit , advanced bearing by NSK , Viton oring , interior grease and lide is by exxon mobile not CPC , protected housing unit , harsh enviroment motor , powder coated mounting unit , composite balanced  blades and a controller with switch and fuse .....


call me for any questions 409-457-2049

AGE , Daughters , DOGS , Pirates ........mortality

Wednesday, PuPPJuly 18, 2012
I was looking in the mirror today and realised the shades of gray coming out in my beard,at my feet was our oldGolden retriever “Puppy” , her face turned a soft white with age ,laying down beside me , flapping her tail while laying down as only old dogs can do, as I tell her of my plans for today . I realised the love Puppy has brought into our lives at the same time I realised what she has taught the 3 M’s[ lively pirate daughters ]. Dogs can teach daughters a lot if we teach them to listen with thier heart , mind and soul.Daughters, as very little girls, need to internalize the deepest knowledge of loyalty, faith, honor, respect, and of course, love. Dads may attempt to teach these virtues, but Puppy lives it. Every day.


Puppy taught my daughters the wisdom of living inthe moment. Even the least important moment is important enough.

Hearing the family car pulling into the driveway is important , exciting and a reason to investigate even if it is just for a hug, kiss and hello.

Waiting at the door is important...awarm hug and hello do wonders for everyone.

Going for walk , strolling ....lolli-gagging is good for the soul , sometimes

Feeling the slurp of cool water is important.

Stretching legs and toes is important.

Feeling the rush of the wind from the car window is important.

Getting a great big hug is important.

Puppy taught my daughters the truth of what is not particularly important. Morning breath. A bad hair day. Gossip.

Puppy taught my daughters to run, play, jump, frolic. Dogs have a magical way of nudging even our teenaged daughters into some agreeable action.

Puppy taught my daughters the beauty of looking into big, round eyes. The confidence of gently bathing and brushing magnificent hair. The patience of training. And the respect of things that are living.

Puppy taught my daughters to listen to a creature who has nothing to say. To speak her heart to ears that absorb her every word. To fear not solitude.

Puppy taught my daughters to be silly. To pour out saved-up wishes. To love simply, yet completely. To take delight in this love.

Puppy is teaching my daughters about mortality. And immortality. Dogs let our daughters know that man alone contemplates his mortality… animals who are ready to go show no sign of doubt. Puppy is offering my daughters the greatest hope that we will always live in the memories of those we leave on this earth.

Puppy has taught my daughters that love often times needs no logic. The sweetest attraction is sometimes the strangest!

Gotta Love the Irish , if only my Grandfather were here !!!!!!

Coming from a typically normal disfunctional Irish Catholic upbringing , from alter boys to 12 years of Catholic  schooling [which is why I cant spell and often use the same sounding words but I write them in wrong way ], Yes let me say this first ,my grandfather[my Pop pop ] was my hero, mentor and a complete charater in every way ,  my Father was the finest man I have ever met and my Mother is classicailly eccentric in a formal Southern way , this video reminds me of putting my Father [ my Pops ] and my Pop-pop on the dock  with some  Lonestar beer and a pocket bottle of Jagermeister or Paddy's Irish whiskey and the two of them yelling instructions out to me on how to sail a sunfish and then a Laser and then a lightening ......then a Catalina 22.....I love it

BOTC 400 Watt Wind Turbine  with Controler    www.botcwindsolar.com


as always call me for any questions 409-457-2049



 AC output at the wind turbine body ensures you keep the most possible power over long distances from generator to batteries.

High-quality marine-grade coating and construction provides versatility in sea environments.

Begins to supply power at a low 5.6 MPH wind speed, so even if the wind dies down, your power won't. Max power is reached at 28 MPH wind speed [at this speed the generator is actually producing 550w ]. This should be fully understood  these tests were done with a new out of the box unit .As all engineers know , bearings  and motors all achieve better results after a break in period , for bearings and motors  it is usually around 60 to 100 operating hours .

After 2 years of marine usage my personal unit supplies 375w in a 11 to 15mph wind with starting power at 2.3 to 3.5 mph wind speed

Testing was conducted at Texas A&M Maritine University here on Galveston island and in Shantou China at Naval Station .
