Sorry to hear your country does so poorly. In the Central and Western parts of the United States of America, Those units cost a dollar a watt INSTALLED, and the subsities are all but dried up for either installation OR O&M. There is a thriving secondary market that refurbs them, and resells them for 3/4 of new or more. There is a lot of propaganda out there, mostly by ultra-progressives or extreme right-wingers, ALL of which have never "rode a mill", (much less owned one). It has been one of my most exerilerating experiences to do that. From hanging on a belt under a 500Watt home unit atop a 60' lattice tower, to a 1.5 Meg monster at the end of a 320 foot tube tower, the feelings your get are a real rush. I am so glad I have had the gumsion to actually get out of the computer chair and do some of this stuff. Owning and maintaining a farm, any size, is far more authouitative than reading somebodies opinion in a rag somewhere. I know, I have been in both places.
Now back to our sponsor!
I have wondered if it matters too much if the pivot point for the ASD thruster should be at the axix of the cenfer of the prop, or the center of the down-shaft, or somewhere in-between. The conversions I am working on, pivot around the down shaft for ease of construction. The prop trails that point by several inches. I am sure it will be a little hardes to steer, but I think it will make the unit more stable, wanting to do straight and not want to flail to the left or right. Also, I suspect the action of, as it were, throwing the prop to a side, will perhaps enhance the action of chancing directions with regard to the thrust heads themselves. I will be verifing all this when I finish them and do some stress tests and develop some load numbers.

Such a generator is about 4M$, or 1.3M$ / MW.

Unfortunately, we pay about 30% of that as a subsidy, from our taxes.
