We are running another course on how to build your own wind turbine on the week-end of 8th – 10th June. The course will again be run at Hill Holt Woods, which is by the A46 near Norton Disney. See www.v3power.co.uk and www.hillholtwood.com/courses.php for more details.

The turbine is the tried and tested Hugh Piggott design which features in his book "How to Build a Wind Turbine". It has a wooden bladed rotor of 2.4 m diameter (see also www.scoraigwind.com ) and generates about 700 - 800 Watts in a 25 mph wind. The course is hands-on, so those who come will get experience carving blades, hand winding copper coils, working with magnets, setting resins and welding. This is an introductory course for anyone who is thinking of building their own turbine as well as some hands on fun for anyone who is interested in wind.
