Thanks Martin for the link http://www.cleanpowernow.org/birdkills.php including all the links others sent. Hi Hakan, Its been interesting. Took a look at Mr. Piggott's book "Windpower Workshop" equations for power output of a windmill and look forward to Mr. Paul Gipe's book, "Wind energy basics: a guide to small and micro wind systems" for additional background. I'm trying to understand, "How Can I Calculate the Amount of Power Available at a Given Wind Speed?" http://www.awea.org/faq/windpower.html with a given wind swept area mentioned above at your site, is it possible. Like the idea. "Brake drum windmills...Hugh Piggott's book..." Over at his site, http://homepages.enterprise.net/hugh0piggott/ theres another set of plans available. Axial flux windmill plans or "How to build a wind turbine" http://homepages.enterprise.net/hugh0piggott/pmgbooklet/index.htm He says impart, "Lately I have been developing construction techniques for axial flux alternators. In 2001, I made a construction manual available for free down load from this site..." PMG stands for permanent magnet generator. This booklet describes how to build one.
