Agent Orange: Friendly fire that keeps on burning.

Problem with vertical axis is much like a reciprocating ICE. Most of the stuff is sapping power and loafing. Most of the blades on a vertical axis windmill are only working for about 90° of the rotation. The rest of the time, they are contributing only drag. And then, who is going to service the bearing at the top?
Pics of two old fools servicing our tower after we had taken the powerhead down and replaced it with some PV panels.
