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.
you’ve hit about every pro..
a con could be that it takes up so much land for the blades
The positive side is that as you said producing too much energy , no pollution , low cost and renewable . the most obvious con is the huge piece of land or sea that needs to be cleared for the posts to be erected and the long blades to have enough space .
Many positive however they kill birds who fly into them and can block out radar systems acording to the Minesrty Of Defence.
