How about putting another geared alternator on the top (joist). that end will produce electricity too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002675939849224956.post-14152545771805047942008-10-10T20:02:00.000-04:002008-10-10T20:02:00.000-04:00Hello Jeff,<BR/>My name is Cynthia, I live in Canada on a farm and I am excited to build several of your barel turbines to provide enough energy for my home. <BR/>I was wondering if you would e-mail me at cynthiak60@hotmail.com so i could get more information from you.<BR/>would you cut the gears for me?<BR/>how much noise does it make with the lazy susan bearings? do the bearings need grease?<BR/>I will need about 5kw of power for my home. how many will i need to build to get this much power generation?<BR/><BR/>I need to feed the local grid. is it possible with this unit?<BR/><BR/>s many questions for you.<BR/><BR/>I am excited that you built this model. now I can build one too. Thank you<BR/>Cynthiacynthiakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02954775314775973352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002675939849224956.post-47216399560649390652008-04-12T19:05:00.000-04:002008-04-12T19:05:00.000-04:00Hi Jeff,<BR/><BR/>seeing your water barrel wind turbine has inspired me to build my own. I don't expect great results as I live in a built up area. Also waiting to hear from local authority for permission to build it on my flat roof garage. I've just bought 2 barrels and I already have a 2.2kW 3-phase AC motor which I intend to turn via bicycle gearing. Just need to start putting it all together.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9002675939849224956.post-28562462426455377412008-03-30T18:03:00.000-04:002008-03-30T18:03:00.000-04:00Jeff -<BR/><BR/>Did I tell you I actually got on the bridge and steered the SS France for acouple of minutes. The wheel was 6 ft. in diameter.<BR/><BR/>It's now The Norway. We knew they were going OOB so we took it.RDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04647278861328909004noreply@blogger.com
