The Neg Micon NM52 has a rotor of 90 Meters ... jow that one I would believe would have a tip speed of 200 mph ... but not one of the windmills here on altamont come anywhere
close to being that big ... not even the eggbeater type

Actually, tip speed is kind of a common denominator among windmills of all sizes. It is at that speed that the airfoil is efficient.
