• Wind Turbine parts arrive (Ebay purchase)

    Date: 2009.09.19 | Category: wind turbine

    Many people think I’m a bit nuts for trying to harness the power of the wind, they may be right as instead of spending £20k on a big turbine I bought the bulk of the parts from Ebay. Initially I will be doing this purely as a science experiment. I don’t have any planning permission but my neighbours think its a great idea.

    The idea is if I can generate enough power from this turbine to do a proof of concept then I am going to apply for a community grant for all 6 properties in this cluster with the aim of reducing electricty bills by 50-80% dependant on size of household.

    Please help me out identifying the bits I don’t know :P
