This is just a handshake across the years. I was a Guru here 15 years ago, but I dont mind starting over again from scratch.
I still build tiny VAWTs, using what I like to call the Honey Bee method.
Have you ever seen a 500 pound honey bee?
Me neither. I have, however, seen thousands upon thousands of tiny honey bees combine their efforts towards one common goal, acheiving the same goal as one 500-pound honey ber could produce.
I keep my worker bees (tiny VAWTs) tied together electrically, so they all act in unison, giving me a net outcome of one monster bee.
Being small, with just one moving part, hurricanes and tornadoes are less a threat. An upwind Stewart-type mill can become lethal, if it flys apart. Not so with a tiny VAWT.
I'll post videos on my YouTube channel one of thesr days.
Anyway, I'm back. I'm Dutch. 6'6" tall and approaching 78 years old. I'm retired and live alone, homesteading on the Texas prairie. I keep busy with an endless curiosity, free time and a fat piggy bank full of funds designated for toys.
My grandson asked me what I was going to do today. I told him I planned on finishing up yesterday's project. He then asked what that was and I told him . . . Sleepin' mostly.

Nothing difficult is ever easy!
