Hi Everyone.

I've added a couple of new pages to the web site. First up is a quick look at Robs windmill, a chinese 300 watt windmill with the blade modification to cut back the noise.
Secondly, I've added a page about standy power and how to cut back on its cost. There's also a mention in there about the eco-switch, due for release in the next few weeks hopefully.

You can find both articles on the Articles and Readers Windmills page.

Any suggestions or bad spelling, please let me know.

I like it Glenn. RE p0rn pics & video are all good :)
I encourage anyone who has good pics etc of their setup
to let Glenn know. A wall of project pics always helps
others to catch the RE bug.

sPuDd..

It should work ...in theory

Thanks sPuDd

Yeah thats what I thought, if people can see how average Joe has built their own RE, even if its only small and basic, then they get encouraged to start their own RE projects.

I'll put my own installation on that page later today.
