Who am I ?
Hi, I’m Erik Astrand and the man behind this site.
My story? I am about to be 50 and all my life I have been interested in technical things. Not sure if the special interest for the wind, and how to use the wind, started when I as a 5 year old boy and got my first sail dinghy.
Anyway, wind power and to build my own wind generator was a dream for several years. I studied many websites and also bought many courses before I finally built my own windmill. This site is about that journey and you will also find some more general articles about wind power.
Enjoy! and check out the about me page to read more.
should not try until it is tested, are you going to be the first.
i dont know but what a good idea ! Gives new meaning to the phrase, "turn up the gas honey" lol.
a totally great idea Beth. Check into it for us.
yes its possible if their is any means that would help to change the mechanical energy to electrical energy ………..
It sure is possible. The question is, is it cost effective?
Unless you live a windy area, chances are the payback period will be somewhat long.
I don’t know about the methane gas, but the wind power theory sounds good.
BIODIGESTER
sure is make a bio digester ,it makes a clean gas that has no smell whatever and is not that expensive to make, a closed sistern with some pipes going in ,and a pipe leading to the kitchen
have lots of parties and people for dinner ,so that you will have a lot of gas
you can even make one from animal manure ,
NOTE
to lois these kind of things have been in operation in isolated places in Australia for many years ,well tested and well documented under biodigesters on the internet and in Permaculture circles or alternative energies.
POWER
put some propellers on the roof ,include some solar panels incase there is not much wind
change all you equipment to 12 volts
there are many people in Earthships ¨that are totally autosuficient ,you may have to adjust your life a little ,but it is great to be independent and you can live way in the sticks ,
so there also will be plenty of space to grow the bulk of your food
for a complete package on how to put this kind of world together read about Permaculture
