with wind it's not only electricity you can generate.
For exemple you can generate a whirlpool.
By the end of september my pond wasd competely dry,it didn't rain very much this summer.
This was the moment to organise my erectionparty or never.
My tower is made of wood with iron legs to put in the water.
the shaft going down is a big bamboostick.
Here you see how it is mounted
LouisA and LouisvG are holding the rope for preventing the tower ffrom goig violently to the ground,Ffernando is driving my tractor(a leftover from a former life)and Thierry is running around
and me,JaapvG is taking the photos,that's why I'm not on the pics.
The raising went fine till the tractor couldn't get it higher.
It was time for a beer.
The beer gave new inspiration,specialy for Thierry,it was just a push and the tower got on its feet.
Well,this was a great day!
Here you see the impeller.In fact it was to wide,the torkmaster could get it through the water.Later I reduced the diam by taking away the rods that are holding the impellers.
Of course it was a long waiting till there was water in the pond again,and then ofcourse, there was nowind.
At last with 40km+ wind the proof that it works.
Wat it's good for will you ask.
As i'm a very serious person I've been thinking about a justification.
1)oxigenation
2)My theory is that it willmove mud from the center to the sides,but i have to wait next summer till it's dry again to verify this.
3)It's fun
