  Bruce ...Yes that too...but I ran a test and
wrote down the results...like about 10 pounds
and how many inches per second...I think I wrote
this down and sent it to you or else I lost it.
  I really appreciate the stepper motor...in the
meantime I'll send you the same results, using one of the stepper motors that Ghurd sent me...
it does the same job of lighting the 2 white leds
...but doesn't have the same amperage....in
other words...yours would probably be able to
light up a bunch of white leds in parallel
a couple of those coffee cans with an 6-10 mph.
wind would certainly drive them...if not you could stack them a little higher until it did...
another on going project...it's still going a
little slow with this shoulder be improving every day !

Nrom;
 No hurry, I think I still have the results if you need them back from your email. I am working on 5 more of those little guys. Once I finish this little inverter trial then I'll be back working on getting some little VAWT together.

Haven't put "pointed me in" yet.The link is pretty cool. Will be interesting to watch as others sign in.

Cheers!
