 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

two things really. First of, I see the f/P generators sitting up the pole apparently exposed to all the elements, doesn't this wear after a "short" while. Secondly, and I'm sure this has to do with start up speeds,has anyone tried to bring the rotation down to the ground and hook up there instead of 40 ft in the air. Hugh  thnxs allways |

Hugh, You can paint it or cover it. My White Pointer (pic to the left, under my name) is covered. You do need to have it up in the air, keep all friction to a bare minimum. Click on the link & scroll to find the one with the car diff, too much friction. http://www.thebackshed.com/Windmill/Trev/Trev1.asp Good luck Trev @ drivebynature.com |
