Checks and money ordersYou can also send cheques or money orders but only in pounds. If you send dollar or other currency checks or orders or drafts then the bank will take half of it when I try to change it to useful cash here. If I receive a check in foreign currency (not in pounds) then I cannot use it, and I will probably not respond to your order in any way.My address is : Hugh Piggott |

EDITION OF
MY AXIAL FLUX PLANS A WIND TURBINE RECIPE BOOK ![]() "Just to let you know thanks! The book arrived in five days as predicted. I think that's pretty impressive to come half way around the world. I'm very happy with the book. I've had great fun reading. I'm just workingup courage to make a start on the project. I'll tackle it a bit at a time to see how I go. I'll try and carve a blade to start with." |
Again this book is based on the
notes from courses that I have
taught. It supersedes the above
2005 book except that it does not offer English units (inches).
But see below. It could be read in conjunction with the older book for extra ideas and insight - there is plenty of new stuff. The book gives details of six different sizes of wind turbine and various different voltages. There are numerous new diagrams and photos. also several more general sections on windpower systems, towers and alternator design.

reviews and more information "very informative, and easy to read" ..." one of the most influential books of my high school career" |
1997 reprinted frequently 154 pages A book dedicated to building your own working windmill for electricity production. Details of generator choice and design, blade construction, furling systems, towers, wiring, battery charging, heating, alternator design, modifications for car alternators and generators, and everything else you will need to know. This is a book about, rather than specific instructions for building your turbine. it works well in conjunction with my windmill plans above, providing more insight and dealing in more depth with installation and system design. |

In 1993 I produced plans for building a
windmill based
on a permanent magnet alternator from the brakedrum of a van. This is
an
updated edition year 2000. 34 page detailed, step by step guide
to
building a 300 watt windmill with 2.1metre (7 foot) diameter. I have
built
one and it has worked for years on the hill near my house, producing an average output of 100 watts (at the battery). Readers may need to adapt the method to suit their own brakedrum. It is a simple, robust and efficient windmill, but quite large and heavy. |
I no longer have copies of this document in
stock.
I do not recommend it any more - my new plans are much better try eBay for copies:ohojim |

"Choosing Windpower" from CAT publications (October 2006)
replaces my older booklet "It's a Breeze" from CAT![]() Please ignore the diagrams on the front which do not relate to this book but were taken from my windmill plans The book contains a list of all turbines on the market in the UK with basic data and prices. |
"Choosing Windpower is the definitive guide for any
ecologically-minded person who wants to generate electricity off the
grid using windpower. As a variable and at present expensive option of
electricity generation for a household, the book deals with a
'stand-alone system' for those in remote areas who wish to slash the
environmental and monetary costs incurred by diesel generation. With
sections on assessing your needs, the electrical ins and outs of wind
turbines, where to site the turbines and finally how to go about
setting up a turbine, the book is a valuable reference point for all
those with no access to mains electricity. Learn how to assess your power needs and find out whether wind power is right for you. "Choosing Windpower is the brand new edition of 'It's a Breeze', brought up to date with full revisions." |
