'How to Build a Wind Turbine' "the axial flux plans" Windmill building workshop courses page Complete 10 foot axial flux wind turbine kit http://www.forcefieldmagnets.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=22_30&products_id=188 Hi Hugh, Attached is a picture of our completted generator. It seems to be working great. We are getting about 400 watts in 20mph of wind. It also starts up in very light winds. We are so pleased with it. Thanks a bunch. You can see the ships wheel in the picture. Life just got better on board, thanks to your design. Regards, george Links and addresses To people around the world who are building axial flux wind turbines using my design. "Bloody good stuff!"(Rob Webster)I'm in the final stages of making an 8-foot turbine from your plans and am today extremely chuffed with myself! I assembled the alternator and made sure the blade assembly fitted onto the studs, and amazingly, everything worked a treat. This is the first time I have done anything even remotely like this, and knew nothing of welding, wood-carving, or polyester resin. I just wanted to say thanks for such a superb and comprehensive manual, which as i have proved, is effective as a guide for even the most modestly qualified renewables enthusiast. If you want to have a look, i've been keeping a diary at http://www.robertwebster.org/wind_turbine1.htm |

With the price of solar cells still to expensive for the back yard tinker-er, windmills offer a cheap alternative, even if it involves a bit of hard work and basic handyman skills. |
