Wind power
Thanks for the compliments , I'm beaming.
John if you want some help on where to start PM me and I'll give you a few basic pointers. Its easier to start with a small scale turbine ( you can get a readily usuable motor from something as small as a photocopier) these tiny motors are capable of powering small led lights like you can buy in the € store.
The best thing about these small home made turbines is that many of the parts are freely available if you know what you're looking for.
I had this one connected to 5 12v christmas lights and it gave enough light outside the back door as to be a deterrant to cats. Because they were connected directly the lights went on and off as the wind rose and fell.
Regards,
Fries.
