Description

Anyone who has experience in the industry knows that wind turbines require substantial quantities of wind to produce power. There may be strong gusts and turbulence around buildings but only a small amount of power is available in such locations. There are a number of manufacturers of rooftop wind turbines. They have sprung up to meet popular demand. There is no evidence that their products can deliver what they claim. Here are some of the web sites.

Since 1987, we've dedicated more than 100 issues to home-scale renewable energy and sustainable living solutions. That means comprehensive coverage of solar, wind, and microhydro electricity, home energy efficiency, solar hot water systems, space heating and cooling, green building materials and home design, efficient transportation, and much, much more. Whether you're a do-it-yourselfer or not, off-grid or on-grid, Home Power is here to help you make informed decisions about your home energy use.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT MY COURSES: Each day consists of workshop sessions with opportunities to gain hands-on experience of carving wooden blades, winding coils and fitting magnets into purpose built alternators for windpower, wiring, fabrication, erection and all aspects which can be covered as time allows. There is a very minimal amount of formal classroom presentation, largely controlled by demand. A complete wind turbine will be built from scratch and erected. Full drawings are provided as part of the course.

Every year at EWB Cardiff we run a practical project to build something useful. The aim of the practical project is to have hands on experience of building a technology that can be used for human development.
