Where can I find information on wind turbines and power generation for small applications? I see wind to power converters (handheld) that can charge small electronics (cell, mp3, camera). I need something that can mount in a small 3′ x 3′ wind tunnel that produces as much battery charge as possible.
Let’s ignore the fact that energy will need to be produced to operate the wind tunnel. I am only interested in the unit itself.
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.
West Marine sells small wind turbines for boaters along with charging systems and batteries. They’re not cheap, but they’re robust. Link below…
