My latest project. Recently I designed a new generation wind turbine. I am going to miniaturize my design and work it into the front trunk area of a teener. My goal is to drive coast to coast non-stop........ Ambitious? Yes! Doable? Yes! I will accept any help thrown my way! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) By the way, it is great to be back here, I missed this place! |

Oh, you could definitely make it work.
Then put it in hurricane force winds for a week to charge a battery. Then you might be able to drive for a couple hundred yards.... TNSTAAFL - Heinlein is my favorite Quick sanity check: ~80hp = ~60 kw 60 kw wind turbine in 20 MPH winds: http://masteringgreen.com/wipo-60-kw.html So you need a windturbine bigger than a house and weighs thousands of pounds. |

Ughhh, well there is more ways than your way to skin a cat. Funny how people seem to be soooo clairvoyant and just "know" what components I am going to use, even when I have said nothing at all..... Well stugrey I am using components that you are not aware of....and I am using MY design of wind turbine which you do not comprehend of...I am not doing what others have tried and failed - what would be the point of that? Plus that would certainly make all my licenses and certifications questionable... But thank you for your,,,,comment, I guess.... |
