Some great Fisher & Paykel generator
idea's, plus a source of Fisher & Paykel parts. Michael
sells complete windmills and water wheels using F&P
motors, so if you would rather buy a completed windmill
instead of building one, I would recommend visiting his
site. He also sells a sets of plastic windmill blades
that will work with my F&P windmill kit.
Home built renewable electrical power
in the UK mainly wind turbines but also hydro, solar
and gas. Small site with big ideas, if you are working
to expand on your own basic information and knowledge
then this is a good place to start.
Now this is an interresting read. This
person had to go though a lot of paperwork before he
could built a windmill tower on his rural property.
Has a lot of interresting windmill facts and myths.
Ed has put together a very informative
web site, with lots of wind projects and ideas. And he
can supply windmill bits for the hobbyist. Worth a visit.
Terry has built a few wind turbines
using his CNC router to machine the timber blades. A
lot of the inspiration for my CNC came from Terrys site,
and he has been very helpfull.
Homemade solar, wind and green power
diy instructions, information and projects to generate
energy at home. There is also a section on reconnecting
F &P motor as a alternator.
Chris Simpson's web site has lots of
clever electronics projects, info on alternative energy,
and even instructions on how to make a composting toilet.
Make sure you check out his projects
page.
I love this site. It gives wind direction
and speed for just about anywhere on the planet. You
just select your location, and it will tell you todays
wind conditions, forcast for the week, and yearly averages.
Great site.
Royal Fabrication in the USA make replacement timber blades for the Wincharger windmills. They can also make blades to custome sizes, worth a look.
