ok gang, I am back in again in my dairies mode. I yes have too much to share and and do not want to risk disrespecting this great community and it's guidelines.
Dairy mode on;
I tried FEMM again. boy ohh boy that is only meant for people that have already a good understanding of all the topics involved.
I for one am going to back out as I am just not made of that material yet and probably never will be if it's up to me.
I'll share one important life secret though for who ever finds my logs, after I am long gone, and reads this. It is better to not specialize too much. Focus on a wide spectrum of fields that are important to be self sufficient. And then try and find the people that do like to specialize.
Now I already know that there is a forum (like this) that does not reward that attitude. And that's OK.
This forum did however give me some tips and tricks so I think keeping the good folk here updated is important.
So that is whay I keep saying that all my work should be open source, hence me keeping this logbook.
For one, I am also diving into growing food.
Skills I have been focusing on in my younger years are still very much important, but just not when the bombs have dropped and we are all in survival mode.
The more, or rather the less less, I get to learn about magnetic fields. The more I am motivated to see by how much a repelling arrangement decreases performance as opposed to a traditional arrangement.
But given the woolyness of FEMM and the fact it is not being updated for a lot of years now I am kinda hoping for something fringe to happen.
On the other hand, science and physics are pretty well established already, even long before the end of the latest version of FEMM.
So I should be honest to myself and give nuance to the term wooly.
Wooly is the term I use when things get soo complicated that is becomes easy to distract others from what is actually going on, dare I say, even misguide them.
But my dear reader in the future, I have to remind my self that all I care about is to create something that everyone can do with little knowledge as to break this impasse we seem to be in.
I mean all turbines I have heard about in an urban setting have failed expect 2 (The A.D 2000 - 2015 era). (and even those tests where done not in an urban setting)
The montana and the skytream. Great products but other than the fact that the general public can't afford them and that least the skystream is already BUST, and that most local codes won't allow for it in urban settings I say the following.
If nobody commercial just wants to think towards something that is worthwhile and only cares about the next wind scam that makes this field so tainted. Please go find another field to piss in. I will no longer allow for it!! That is why I started my mission. For liberation of the common man efforts (or at least those that have to deal with the same local code constraints as I do).
Getting a huge wave of voters (yes that means you and I) to allow for better local codes is up to us. All we need is a united front in each of our respective areas.
What we need is brilliant minds that team up and design something that can actually be constructed by most of the general public. It is the people where I keep my personal writings that probably know more about it that even our own governments.
I already figured out this (in order);
* collect wind speed averages during a year in terms of metric units. If one can't afford a self bought weather station then one could consider something like windy.com, and find your nearest community station. (just do understand that this datum is probaly not as close to your specific location as you would need)
* see what one's local codes allows for in terms of diameter and size and what have we.
* if in turbulent conditions, just accept VAWT. If not then go straight to the good ones HAWT.
* use a calculator to see if your local codes and avg. wind speed can actually generate something worthwhile.
