Hi Guys,
I was apprehensive to get into this one for the sake of bandwidth, but I think
BOTH of you are onto something.
And what about doing both a solar panel and a mini wind turbine?
I have the panel already. Okay, for what it's worth,...count me in too!! I'm
not driving an EV, but what the heck? It's a dream we are generating, and a
real EV is still a bit of a dream for me.
Anybody else feel like pulling up to the "charging" post here?
Steve, give me some ideas on what I can use for a prop. It has to be something
I can find commonly, okay? I don't have anything other than an old 12 volt car
fan laying around at the moment. Would that work or are the vanes (?) too
steep?
Rick
