Does anyone know how many amps to run a 250W?
Grant make your own windmill.

If I remember correctly, V * A = W, so A = W / V. 250 / 120 would be a bit over 2 amps.
OTOH it's been about 20-25 years since I needed to do such calculations, so I could be misremembering the formula.
Here are some more alt energy links. http://www.homepower.com/links/advertisers.cfm

Cheaper and easier to buy. Warranty is nice too.Originally Posted by HopaLong
Hydro power is the way to go if you have any flowing water on your property. Cheap and easy!
Yup It's pretty simple.
...or the Pelton wheel.
The 30 amp model puts out 13 volts according to the graph. 250watts divided by 13volts = 19.23amps The chart also shows that to get 19 amps from the windmill you need average wind speeds of 25 mph!
A standard HPS or MH bulb runs at 120VAC, not 13 volts. You'd need to use a voltage converter/regulator. But 13 volts would be just about right for charging a car battery (or bank of car batteries.)
All you need is a Trace inverter of two and some diesel batteries. Wind not included.
