Well done Peter, after nearly a year  of testing you have produced a product to be justly proud of.


I can tell by the sleek lines that this thing will have very little mass at the top of the tower, in fact wind-resistance should be minimal.


However, I think the colour should be changed so the bird strike is reduced to a minimum as at the moment it is a bit difficult to make out at a distance..... dang near impossible at close quarters for that matter.


Must have a good wind site as the blades must be spinning so fast I can't even see the prop blades from here.


No.... I think your on a winner, the tree huggers won't be able to complain about the environmental blot on the landscape, as the foot print is insignificant....in fact so insignificant that it's impossible to make out,.. even at this range. It certainly doesn't interfere with the uninterupted view of the North Atlantic, or even the far off  Artic ocean.


It's surprising that the big companies haven't beaten a path to your door wanting to take out licences, as with a machine that blends so well into the background, it would solve those eyesore arguments that the greenies trot out each time they want to stymmie another windfarm.


All in all, a technical triumph for mankind......and to think you complained about the quality of my graphics......cradles chin in hand, frowns, and taps foot on floor.:-)


a picture's worth a thousand words eh!


is it my failing eyesight.............oztules :-)

mumble-mumble-drongo-mumble-mumble


Thanks for providing me with the motivation, I suppose. Guess I'm now morally obliged to do something in return... :) Another thing added to the to-do list. Thanks! With friends like that you don't need...


So, you were talking about me when you felt short-changed, robbed, etc. when you came across an empty diary?


First thing I'll do is re-post some of my posts (with all my completed projects) here. Bear with me for a few more days.


Oh wait. Now I know why you're so interested in my diary. You're waiting for that re-built computer PSU...


Peter,

Up here (The Netherlands)

So in essence we have to wait for the future to see your past??.... must be a Nothern hemishere thing.


it's the first time in my life I have the moral high ground...odd feeling.


"Oh wait. Now I know why you're so interested in my diary. You're waiting for that re-built computer PSU.."... I know of at least one person interested in how you go...


You realise if you get it to work .. it's my good teaching and graphics, and if you dont ........its 'Peter who?...never heard of him.'


"Another thing added to the to-do list. Thanks! With friends like that you don't need.."    I'm one of the .. keeping you hard at work:)

Oztules (down there),


Make sure you don't fall off. I'd miss you. <evil grin>


For some of my projects, check out these links:

Still working on the first real windgenny though. And if I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath. Because when it's finished, I won't be able to mount it. One of the joys of living in a city-like village.


Peter.
