All this BS about wind power.... but all i hear is not in my back
yard. Nuclear power... same BS.
Enough ranting. I haven't seen the spoken about kit turbine but I
did (as a couple weekend project) coupled a home made windmill
(plywood, etc...) to a ford alternator to charge batteries to run a
inverter in my garage. Nice toy though... worked pretty good. why
something similar could not be done on a larger scale ???? I got the
idea from a boat my friend had with a wind generator mounted on the
transom. worked the same way. and did surprisingly well... but back
to the ranting. shit piss or get off the pot.
