DIY wind power - DIY Wind Turbine




This is my new DIY wind turbine,quite a calm day today hardly any wind at all, just wanted to test it , hopefully some faster winds later as I want this thing to have a good thrashing to check it aint gonna fall down anytime soon. The whole tower assembly can be lowered by winch within 2 minutes , the winch and the guide wires take all the strain , its nice and smooth , no problemo.
