Hi Browne and All, I didn't recconnize it because it's a joint type, not a mast type. A very good joint though. On FGing or any other fabric I wouldn't as it...
HI i build towers for a living and hope i can shed some light on this for you. first and foremost the region that you erect a tower has alot to do with the...
100' tilt down towers aren't too hard, as you use a winch and a gin pole. The gin pole gives you leverage. Schedule 40 4" to 6" steel pipe is common. Steve...
Great insight on tower building from an experienced pro! Much appreciated and many thanks. I will definitely save this email for future reference... ScottO ......
what do you use to set the gene pole up with i realize that theres not that much weight in the pipe but flexing and bending would cause issues if it bent the...
Wow! Tracy thank you for that. I thought you tower guys were crazy, thank you for reaffirming this. Anyone who would rather climb over one hundred feet and...
a vehicle can be used, but I prefer a winch. The schedule 40 steel pipe is thick, and out wind turbines fairly light, so there is little chance of out of spec...
Actually the way the gin pole is guyed to the tower is the same as the rest of the guys. How ever many points along the tower it is guyed to the ground it is...
I like the idea of water driven... but it (like everything) is predicated on your flow. You can't capture more that your flow. Actually water is one of the...
[QUOTE]Nice if you have level ground - firm dirt or rocks to anchor the guy wires.[ENDQUOTE] Please explain "firm dirt or rocks to anchor" ???? Some might...
Howard, I like the way you think. Ian said not to reinvent the wheel, but I think there are ways to improve it too. I too wondered about moving the magnets...
The total energy does come from gravity. The mass of the water X the height of the drop acted upon by gravity is the potential kinetic energy. The Velocity may...
I see, thank you for clarifying Slowly but surely I begging to get the hang of this. ... -- Brian Rodgers All Internet traffic from Las Tusas Ranch relayed...
I've been lurking awhile, reading and looking at the photos posted. I'm wondering if there's any magic to the number of coils/phases/magnets. Most of the pics...
I'm not a pro, or even very experienced, I only built one axial flux alternator. But my understanding is the amount coils are related to the amount of phases,...
Patents and the homebuilder? Does anyone know what the restrictions are on patented concepts when one is building a unit at home for his own use? If your not...
Patents have to do with reselling. You are under no restrictions making for your own use. Steve Spence http://www.green-trust.org ... From: "dem45133"...
Brian- I believe that's all true, but there is more to it. All plans I've seen use an even number of magnet pairs because they need to be evenly distributed...
Not sure about the restrictions for sure but, some aspects are covered under the: Economic Espionage Act of 1996 a Federal Law. I'd read about this act and...
A patent is intended to protect the commercial aspect of an idea. The primary "patent police" is the patent holder. The patent holder has to defend his/her...
The above all all correct... as it was explained to me, a person may, for his own personal use, take a object and duplicate it provided there is no intent of...
Greetings, This is my first post, so pardon my ignorance. I'm very very interested in all this, from windmills to bike operated power...but most of it is...
It comes down to $$$$$. If you are using someone else's valid patent, making money on the process, and not paying royalties, you would be liable. The venue ...
O.K guys, I've done enough reading (invaluable info on this forum, thanks)and I'm ready to build a generator for my lister. Any suggestions for a supplier for...
If you are a junkyard kinda guy, you can get wire from old motors, but it can be hard to remove. One good source is old TVs. There is a loop of wire around...
True, but easier to get the wire from motors which are not varnished, like many washing machine, dishwasher, etc open-frame type motors. Some they varnish the...
Oh boy this is great news. We have a junk yard full of dead microwaves and television sets as I owned a consumer electronic service shops for ten years. I just...
