Here is the problem with some background. I drive a feed truck to chicken farmers. I talk as much as i can about alterntive energy.Most look at me like i came from a nother planet but i have caught the ear of a few. Each house has 10 48' fans 3 per side and 4 on the back (2 on each side of a big roll up door) What i am thinking is at least 3 of those fans are running all the time, I want to make a VAWT to put in front of a fan to run the power back into the house. The fans a blowing out into the wide open. I got some info. off of one of the motersit is 1.5HP 1725RPM FLA17.2/9.2-8.6. My ?, can this be done and would it denifit the grower? What size VAWT would be needed and all the other goodies that go with it?
