DIY Windmill Site

The backshed.com an interesting hobby windmill site. Includes mechanics and electronics. Finally a use for old floppy drives :smiley:

Nice I use four of them to supplement my solar panels. Been getting my share of power this week.

It’s a great site allright, I have 3 of the F&P motors in various stages of conversion. (another hobby I don’t have enough time for #-o)

Also the US based site www.otherpower.com is simply one of the best sites on the net for this sort of thing (IMHO :wink:)

[edit] Nearly forgot the discussion board http://www.fieldlines.com/

I guess those F&P’s are pretty common in your part of the world? I don’t think DC motors are very common in appliances here, except maybe some higher end ones, so that’s not an easy item to acquire. Pity they are so heavy, we could have a good export import business :lol:
