		<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>
