Cool

I really want to build a wind jenny. It would be nice to get a few of us together in Cornwall to build them together.

Thanks for posting the vid

Same here Al. Love the idea of making the blades from PVC pipe. I was just looking up wind gennies and found this clip of a big one self-destructing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3FZtmlH ... r_embedded

If you can access a bunch of old computer hard drives you can get some excellent POWERFUL rare earth magnets out of them that will do just nicely for a smaller Genny.
