    WARNING! These are OLD and outdated specs. As  with all older 
crank-ups, they were rated at 50 MPH. The minimum windspeed  these days is 70 MPH, at 
which point I think the capacity of the HG tower  reaches somewhere around 
zero. 
 
    Please be careful and conservative if you're  using one of these, 
including the old Tri-Ex's, etc.
