Hi all.
This thread is also in the green living category.

Here's a thought.
I have a large piece of property in Flinton Ont (hwy#7 and #41-#37) with about 20 acres of good camping. I have a little off grid cabin, a spare 12' X 8' bunkie, and a spare 16' trailer, a small 8' X 24' workshop, and will be building a nice "Green"-comfort station this summer.
I was thinking a weekend long, with possibly a "build your own" wind turbine, water turbine, and/or dual axial flux alternator work shop, as I have all the necessary components and equipment to build them (either the one's like "otherpower" or my own design) and Rob Beckers has offered to teach some theory.
The only weekend I have available would be August the 16-17.
Let me know what you think, and if any one i interested?
Jeff

August 16-17 is still wide open, so that would work for me. Two days won't be enough to complete a wind turbine though. Possibly there are people who always wanted to build their own turbine, but are short on time? One way to swing this would be to group-build a turbine, where the future owner springs for the cost of materials.

I've been asked by some local Torontonians to give a one-day, how-to electrical and wind turbine workshop for beginners, here in the city. It will be the basics, and we will build a small educational wind turbine that they can take home and experiment with.
I'm trying to do it in the beginning of July.
If anyone is interested, please let me know?
Thanx
Jeff
