A school district is learning – and earning – with wind power.
It has been in service for a few months now and still working great. Thanks to all those who have great web sites that provide info. You know who you are.

www.WindEnergyGuide.net – Homemade Wind Power to Light Up Your Home Wind is one of the most readily available and environment-friendly alternative sources of energy. With the use of modern technology, homemade wind power has been introduced as an easily harnessed energy source especially to those who are living in the country or on a large track of land. This renewable energy source actually makes up 20% of the total energy output of a country like Denmark. Hence, home wind power answers to the need for renewable and inexhaustible energy sources. Generating power from wind actually does have its flaws. At times, the wind can become very strong or very weak. Hence, wind could be an unstable and variable source of energy. Although the wind is unreliable at times, it still holds a number of advantages. For one thing, it does not harm the environment. It does not produce the greenhouse gases like coal-based power plants. Hence, it eases off the dependence on energy sources that are greatly accounted to the global warming and climate change, of which the effects we are suffering today. Wind power is renewable and inexhaustible. In addition, wind is one of the cleanest sources of energy. That is why wind power generators generally do not require maintenance. Given the significant advantages that wind energy brings, many country homes are still reluctant in using wind generators. They easily get overwhelmed by the cost of setting up wind power equipment. Another reason would be …
This week’s Winecast visits Destiny Ridge Vineyard, the 263-acre estate planting for Alexandria Nicole Cellars in the Horse Heaven Hills near Paterson, Wash. Jarrod and Ali Boyle, who own and operate Alexandria Nicole, recently installed 20 Windspire wind turbines to generate electricity. According to a Windspire official, ANC is the first Northwest winery to use the 30-foot-tall machines.

“VAWT” “Wind Turbine” Feel “free” to use any of these “concepts” in your “windmill” designs. The wing or plate that swings on a vertical rod has been around forever and the rest are just “conceptual designs” that I came up with. An engineer proficient using AVIs stress analysis application could determine structural integrity issues using these drawings. Who knows; maybe someone will perfect this “design concept” and build them to the same height as the large HAWTs. I (think) “Vertical Axis Wind Turbines” have the leverage potential to produce more power at lower wind speeds. I am amazed by the large HAWTs and many of the modern VAWTs but I hope that engineers, innovators and last but not least, financial risk takers will continue to find ways to lower the required wind speed. Constructive comments are welcomed. If you do not have any, Yes We Can! works for me. Thanks for viewing.
Wind Farms Are Making People Sick “Wind Turbine Syndrome” Wind energy is a multi-billion dollar a year industry. Its billed as clean, green, renewable. In this engagingly written, peer-reviewed report by a Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine trained MD and Princeton (Population Biology) Ph.D., we discover wind energys dirty little secret. Many people living within 2 km (1.25 miles) of these spinning giants get sick. So sick that they often abandon (as in, lock the door and leave) their homes. Nobody wants to buy their acoustically toxic homes. The lucky ones get quietly bought out by the wind developers—who steadfastly refuse to acknowledge that Wind Turbine Syndrome exists. (And yet the wind developers thoughtfully include a confidentiality clause in the sales agreement, forbidding their victim from discussing the matter further.)

Juan de Bedout, a scientist at General Electric’s Global Research Center discusses wind power at a recent energy briefing at the Technology Center.
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.
