Wind Power
5/10/2003 -- New Brake Disc Mill
9-foot dia prop, furling tail, 3-phase, separate
laminate assembly with excellent specs. Many
improvements over our previous designs!
Spins up and makes power freely in low winds,
and governs itself in high winds.
The Wood 103
A 100-watt windmill built entirely from wood!
More of a demonstration than anything, but a
quick weekend project that will teach you
about windmill construction.
DanF's Wood A-X
DanF's version of the Wood A-X is very
similar to the original, but with slightly sturdier
contruction. The props are interchangable
between the two. Some problems to be fixed
here, but in progress. .

5/20/2003 -- Dual Rotor Brake Disc Mill
Up and flying at the Caboose. Excellent low wind
performance with 10 foot prop, great furling
system.
The Wood A-X
A quick-and-easy 200 watt windmill, built mostly
from wood! Perfect for a remote cabin or RV,
this one is quick and easy, and we are working on
an updated version too.
Ward's Prop Gallery
Ward and his collection of broken props, tails and
stators. This is what happens when you let DanB
and DanF use you for a wind guinea pig! But
Ward's tower has the best height and wind
exposure in the area, so it's where we try and
make windmills blow up to further our research.
And he's a good sport!
