A WIND TURBINE RECIPE BOOK"Just to let you know thanks! The book arrived in five days as predicted. I think that's pretty impressive to come half way around the world. I'm very happy with the book. I've had great fun reading. I'm just working up courage to make a start on the project. I'll tackle it a bit at a time to see how I go. I'll try and carve a blade to start with." |
This book is based on the
notes from courses that I have
taught. The book gives details of six different sizes of wind turbine and various different voltages. There are numerous diagrams and photos. Also several more general sections on windpower systems, towers and alternator design. |

reviews and more information "very informative, and easy to read" ..." one of the most influential books of my high school career" |
1997 but reprinted frequently. 154 pages. A book dedicated to building your own working windmill for electricity production. 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 instructions 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. |

"Choosing Windpower" from CAT publications (October 2006)
replaces my older booklet "It's a Breeze"
|
"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." |
