		<description><![CDATA[OK to change the subject.  But why would we talk about Permanent Alternators.  For a couple of reasons.  Firstly they are the best type of alternator to use in a wind turbine.  For application of wind turbines, the windings need to be designed so that higher power can be generated with less speed. Secondly, since [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How do you build a gasifier.? A gasifier or as they are often called, gas producers, can be simply made from some sort of metal container or drum.  You need to be able to capture the exhaust of the small fire.  Some form of insulation could be of benefit.  Usually the drum is lined with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the war years when petrol/gasoline was in short supply it was common practice to have a device at the back of the car or truck which produced a gas from wood or charcoal.  This gas was a cocktail of gases created from incomplete combustion of the wood.  It didn&#8217;t provide as much power but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stirling engines and other hot air engines were invented and had some prevalence about 100 years ago, but largely did out in common use. Research continues today however and their creation is not out of reach by the home backyard tinkerer I believe. What is a hot air engine? Basically these are external combustion engines [...]]]></description>

Three things you need to remember with wind turbines of any sort. Robustness Wind can be [...]]]></description>

Vertical Axis Wind Turbines have some advantages over the horizontal types as well as disadvantages.  [...]]]></description>

Actually gusty winds, particularly where there is a lot of turbulence can effect the performance of wind turbines.  This is particularly the case with horizontal axis types ie. the ones with the vertical, almost propeller like blades. Hence, [...]]]></description>

The exciting thing about wind power is that it lends itself to experimenting yourself.  In the next few posts I am going to discuss some of the issues, variations I have seen about.  [...]]]></description>
