Leucate France 12-17 April 2010

with Tripalium

Photos by Gael, Hugh and Renaud


We built a 3600 mm diameter machine for grid connection using a Windy Boy inverter,
and also a 1200 mm diameter turbine for 12 volt battery charging.

Both machines were built according to the Recipe Book
wind turbine plans



Renaud and Anne fit the second magnet rotor.

Herve and Sophie create the sheep tailvane.



The site was an abandonned communications centre.
Tripalium had a 2400 mm turbine erected before the workshop to provide battery charge for computers and lighting.


Felix balances the 3600 blades.
