Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I've added two new interesting articles to the main web site.

First up is Len's 4kw wind turbine, built using a commercially available alternator and blades. http://www.thebackshed.com/windmill/articles/LenF.asp

And we also have a article put together by Oztules. Home made solar panels.

Hi Sparky

The bare cells can usually be bought from ebay. I've added a bit more information to page 5 on sourcing the cells.
