Here, sane proportions, size, strength, and costs of it all will be discussed. How much torque do we have to handle? How do we secure the device to the ground? Out of which materials can we choose,...
Here we can place different blade designs, airflow simulators and wind theory. We could try to get clear what does and what does not work well.
The goal of this section is to capture as much energy...
Here, we will cut the red tape on getting permission from the power companies to hook our power producing devices up to the grid. How do the 2 combine? How do we use batteries when full, and grid,...

Here the goal is to take a rotating ax, any rpm or torque, we don't care how the rotation was made, air, hydro, bike, or whatever, and turn it into as much amperes and volts as possible.

1 joule = 1 Nm = 1 kg m2 s-2 = 1 Ws
To get an impression of the joule, it is about the energy needed to shift a 100 gram (one newton) object one meter.
It takes 4186 Joules to heat a kilogram...

1 Capture Wind Energy.
Wind has mass, speed, direction and temperature. Windmills capture energy by lowering energy levels in one of these dimensions, by slowing down the wind (drag effect) or...
The Finnish engineer S J Savonius designed the first savonius windmill in 1922. It is a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) unlike most windmills today, who are of the Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine...
Here, you can add your own windmill projects, information, or questions.
I find it difficult to always convert between different systems, miles and metric. Thats why I made this...

Some electrical guys will have to figure out how to take a uncertain amount of AC or DC, volts and amps, and store them as good as possible, in a safe way.
Using diodes to turn AC into DC, increase...

How do we use as little power as possible, without turning into monks?
Use fluorescent or led-lighting. I have a nice little gadget the I can plug into the power socket, and read how much watt all...
