Ornamental Windmill/POWER?
« on: January 26, 2006, 06:09:43 PM »
I've been looking at these aluminum ornamental windmills http://www.generationsales.com/Windmills/Windmills.html with the thought of modifying one of the big ones (12ft) to charge some 12v batteries for an electric bicycle at the burningman festival. There's LOTS of wind there, and I need something that's easy to set up. Any ideas on what generator to attach or what mods could make it feesable, or is this a stupid idea?! THANKS!
