If this doesn’t work…

Okay, HUGE update for all 3 of you who have discovered this webpage. I went ahead and made 5’2″ blades and put them on. Then I acquired two sections of tv tower, and using 3 sections of scaffolding, mounted this bastard. Needless to say, this is the last iteration of the bike/alternator windmill. Anything after this will be based off of this http://www.otherpower.com/wardalt.html design.

It does spin in only a little wind which is the most important thing. I will hook up the battery and cable tomorrow, and see how much power it puts off assuming that there is any kind of wind.

Oh, and for reference, each section of scaffolding is 5 feet tall.
