The Alternator is now mounted to the windmill. Tommorrow I will return the belt which I bought that was too small and get one that actually fits. After that I will set up a small battery bank and get some readings with my multimete and let you five or six readers know how well or terribly the rig works. Now keep in mind that I dont expect this thing to be blasting out enough juice to power my home, but rather let it sit and charge a battery in a day or two. The whole goal of this project is to keep me outside and tinkering in the garage, and to show people that with little to no money(The only money Ive spent so far is on the belt) people can help out their electricity bills and spend more money on alcohol. The custom paint job is there because I also wanted to make this thing as much of an eye sore as physically possible.
