		<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[One thing about Home Wind Power is that a DIYer can build and experiment from the ground up.  This is not quite so with solar power, where manufacture of good solar cells is beyond the capabilities of most back-yarders. Three things you need to remember with wind turbines of any sort. Robustness Wind can be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been talking about horizontal axis wind turbines.  Commercially these are the most available.  However a few horizontal axis wind turbine types are also becoming more available.  It&#8217;s probably the type or group of types that has the biggest variety. Vertical Axis Wind Turbines have some advantages over the horizontal types as well as disadvantages.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Windy day today &#8211; and gusty.  Could be fun putting up the foam sheets on the house. 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>

Most people think of the type that look a bit like  chopped off noses of small aeroplanes.  Technically these are grouped together and known as Horizontal [...]]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[A little while ago I mentioned in a post that I charge my batteries with old welder from a generator. Let me give some more details about it. Most welders that run of the mains power are called AC welders because the output is AC unless the welder is a &#8216;DC Welder&#8217;. Hence diodes are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are so many types of wind generators.  The most common commercially available units are the traditional propeller blade types off a horizontal shaft. With the right site these can do very well.  Unfortunately these are also finicky about the quality of the wind.  Any turbulence can reduce the effectiveness and the life of one [...]]]></description>
