How to build a Axial flux alternator wind turbine By Hugh Piggott


A book review


I just got done looking over the plans that came in to day.


And hats off to Hugh he done it again. A nice set of plans and a sweet design.


They just keep getting better and better.  The plans are loaded with cad drawings

diagrams and pictures and are clean and easy to read.


 And for folks who like me are metric challenged : )

He has included the dimensions in feet and inches.  Thank you.


The part on furling system theory answered a lot of questions I had nicely.


By careful building a person will have a machine that will perform as well as any commercial

unit in its class and if tweaked for the winds at your site it could out perform some. MHO


Well worth the money.

Yee-Ha!

My copy of Axial Flux workbook and WindPower Generator was just dropped off by the mailman..... can't wait to bury myself in it.

Nice to hear that others regard it so highly.... I'm new to all this and have been lurking for a while. I'm looking forward to my first construct...sounds like these books and this board will help a lot.

Thanks all.
