Thanks for dropping by and Welcome!!!

As a dedicated "do it yourselfer" I put this site up for all those who share similar DIYS skills and convictions.

I hope what I have here helps you in your endeavors in some way, big or small.

New Mini-Gen single phase alternator kit

Educational wind turbine kit

An educational 3 phase turbine kit.  Comes with everything you need to create a 3phase wind turbine.  Great for science projects, learning about 3phase PMG alternators, and alternative energy.  The kit includes 6 very powerful neodymium magnets.  Check it out!

Dual Rotor Kit

These will be made up as ordered

The dual rotor kit is based on the dual rotor unit on the projects page

An ongoing project that has been quite challenging and fun as well as rewarding

Click here =>A semi-new Vawt... the "Lenz turbine"

The original 6 ft turbine with a car alternator and chain drive.   It was changed to the axial Flux type alternator and ended up being much more efficient and powerful.  The chain drive was quite noisey because of the cogging in the modified alternator.  It was in service for about 2 years and is now down for maintenance.  Actually it will be refitted with a new alternator using the new magnets and the blades refurbished.

The downwind turbine, a very small but quite efficient little unit.   This one was a bit more complicated to build but it features the star/delta controller ( check the link on downwind turbine for more detail)
