 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Ron Lin from the web site Windy Nation has sent in a article on his thoughts about using different blade materials. Some of you may be familiar with Windy Nation as a supplier of windmill parts. http://www.thebackshed.com/windmill/articles/WindyNationBlad eMaterial.asp You can also find a link to his article from the Contents page. The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |

I would have thought some mention of carbon fibre might have been on the cards. Lakota, and the larger Whisper blades are carbon fibre. I rate them similar to wood, without the maintenance. Gordon. become more energy aware |

Hello, I would like some of your guys input.What do you guys think building your own generator or using a PMA motor? I do understand that a PMA motor is going to require some attention as the brushes and bearings ware out and so fourth. I bought Hugh Piggott's book: A wind turbine recipe Book. He has alot of info and illustrations in his book. Thanks Gary Gary2010 |

Gary, Best you pick the right section to post your message in next time as i dont see this as "site News" more like a windmill question. Please try to use the relevant topic areas. Pete. Sometimes it just works |
