Wind Harvest Company’s Windstar 480-4 took the previous iteration, the Windstar 256 model, beefed it up, and increased its size by adding a third module and increased blade length from 8 to 10 feet and thus rotor height from 16 to 30 ft. This model also featured a newly designed drive train/generator/control system and brake.
