hi everyone

It's me again I�ve been designing ways of electric wiring the cable from tower to alternator exclusive of actual wires stirring each other thus you don't have to rewind the wire every time the wind generator rotates and thus the wire gets caught in the tower and as it would turn 360 the wire twist around the tower further and further until the alternator no longer rotates, well I was talking about this with one of my friends that studies bachelor of electrical engineering at UTS with me except I do civil engineering

and he suggested a thought from the designs I showed him I�ll try to post you guys images authograpic /rough sketch drawings of design from top side and end view and I�ll highlight and important points that we came up with that allow the wind generator to spin 360 and no wire get caught or warped and therefore you don't have to get up in a windy day and unwind the wire and therefore more output is obtained because it never stops rotating to catch the wind and you never have to worry about getting up and checking to see whether the generator is caught up with the wire and can't turn no more so you have to unwind it as soon as I find out how you can upload images in this forum

the design is very basic and we still don't know if it will succeed but based on trial and error it should and from help and suggestions from you guys towards how it can be modified to improve the design it should fix the problem of electric cable wrapping around the tower.
Thanks again guys for all your help and please feel free to give me any similar ideas suggestions you guys have towards the design
Thanks Sizar

if you really want to achieve something then you must face it with full potential and be prepared to fail because failing is part of learning

Sounds interresting sizar.

If you want to post a image, have a look in the help section ( click on Help, top right of this page ) and look for "Can I post images" under the "Message Formatting" section. Dont forget to read the bit about resizing the image for best results.
