Dinges, it's been renamed the Chook Mobile. Strange thing is everyone who has seen it hooked up to the windmill, then taken it for a drive loves it...... which is pretty strange as it looks like a pile of the proverbial. No accounting for taste over here apparently. (we must have a very low expectations.
It does run well, and only takes a short time to recover on the mill from a 4km trip round the paddocks. The mill seems to charge at 10-20 amps in most winds since it was built.
I managed to get it into third gear, and she does near 35km/hr. would do 40 on the bitumen I reckon easily.
She now done nearly 30km of paddock bashing so far... no oil, water or petrol.
I have taken the position of assistant sh*t kicker in OM inc... somehow it suits me.
So move over you other moguls, were coming through with the wind car.
Ron, we know your prowess with the beans.... maybe a methane motor will do for your purposes.
The lads on the hill (all 500 or so) will get good mileage on a still day .... with their combined hot air, maybe a stirling for them instead.
