#windmill

2 posts2 participants2 posts today

following a rabbit hole around ebike motors, I stumbled on this interresting project of kite windmills of @roddyread windswept.energy/

it looks like for development they use ebike wheels to generate electricity with "small" models

I'm wondering where the project is at now ?
looks like the big 50KW is not happening now ...
but what about some 1KW the same size as the dev version, in Kit, for remote areas or even small group expedition ?

Windmill.

The sails of this N-gauge windmill were glued in place when I came across it. This is likely because the axle had broken.

I removed the sails and remade the axle. Plus a little tidy-up of the body and a fresh paint-job and this windmill is good to go.
