My 17' Turbine so far

<< < (6/23) > >>

Boss:
Beautiful fabrication

jaysicle:
That is gorgeous. Attention to detail at every step.

Seems you have put a good deal of pre- thought into this and when it was time to commit, - it would be built only once, and as solid as the pyramids.

Can't wait to see what it can produce.

dlenox:
can you give us some information about the winch that you are using?

I know that you mentioned that it is a 10,000 lb truck winch.
I am assuming that it is 12v DC? if so then what are you using to power it?

thanks,
dan lenox

I just pull my truck up behind the winch and the cables are long enough to be hooked up to the battery.  The battery has two sets of lugs, so I hook it to the extra set.

SparWeb:
Nice job!

Did you make the octagonal flanges yourself or did you find the pipe with them already?  (The reference to irrigation pipe would indicate you made it yourself).

Does it look rather stable as you raise it, or does it have the "wet spaghetti" look?  I'm guessing the former if it's 8" pipe.
