The 4 foot diameter one has 100 watt output. There are also details of a 10 and a 12 foot design. Units in both metric and 'English' (inches etc) throughout. These are very specific instructions for building a turbine. |

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 insttructions 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." |
