The embarrassing thing about it is that you can still find a picture of it on my former schools website:<br><br><a href="http://ndhs.org.uk/articles/images/74530802030823-eco4.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://ndhs.org.uk/articles/images/745308020308...</a><br><br>Please bear in mind this was May 2001!!<br><br>Thanks for the link BTW... looks like an interesting idea.randomwireTue, 26 Sep 2006 05:47:41 -0000http://www.randomwire.com/2006/09/15/renewable-linguistics/#comment-1196025Here's a semi related article <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2006/09/15/technology/disruptors_eestor.biz2/index.htm" rel="nofollow">http://money.cnn.com/2006/09/15/technology/disr...</a> about a new type of car engine that can go 500 miles on $9 of electricity :)Tom FairweatherTue, 26 Sep 2006 05:13:46 -0000http://www.randomwire.com/2006/09/15/renewable-linguistics/#comment-1196024I'm all for home generated electricity, especially if it was reasonably cheap and easy to construct something yourself. What was the power output of your turbine, and did it have an inverter for conversion to AC?<br>I think it's crazy that we stopped using windmills and watermills so much.Tom FairweatherTue, 26 Sep 2006 04:56:10 -0000
