that's alot of magnets. are those welded, epoxied, brazed on there. Also, not much for wind where i am at... might finish the turbine to send to my sister in VA. Has lots of open area, and she doesn't have alot of money coming in right now.Solar panels might be the way to go, after all, I live in the sunshine state of Florida. But don't hate me for it!!!!!!!!! Perhaps a hybrid system. Got a good instructional link for building my alternator??? Good with tinkering, but not with the intricacies og electricity. Need a dummies handbook for... wouldn't that be a good money-maker; Dummies Handbook for wind Turbines. Remember, was my idea first. Send the royalties to me, please:)
