Dear "fcrumpler" no call, no location:

Theoretically, the force produced by moving air impacting on a flat
plate is proportionally to the square of the air's velocity. However, in
the real world where one should appropriately deal with wind gusts and
variability of materials, things are not so simple. Safety factors should
be used. Accommodation for the significant vibration to be caused by your
proposed "wind generator" must be made.

Numbers supplied by some vendors involve no safety factors.

You need to retain a Professional Engineer licensed in your state or
province who is experienced with vertical wind structures. This is
certainly the case if the proposed structure is able to damage other
property or endanger living things.

It is not safe for you to scale the numbers that you have. Too little
information. Too much risk.
