This morning the UPS man pulled in with a package for me.
I couldn't wait to tear that envelope open.
I purchased Windpower Workshop, & How to build a wind turbine, Both by Hugh.
Talk about a wealth of information. I have been reading non stop for 3 hours now, and am still learning. There is alot I need to figure out technically (I studied Computer Hardware & repair so this is all new to me). But I think with these 2 books, I can finally understand alot more of what you folks have been discussing, AND I finally understand how the furling system works. Now if I can just get enough $$$ together for the bigger magnets, I will have a go at a nice 12' turbine.
These books are excellant, and I recommend them to anyone who is seriously thinking about building one if these contraptions.
