Wind turbine building course, June 8th - 10th

Bob Cann | 12.05.2007 10:54 | Climate Chaos | Education | Technology

Want to build your own wind turbine? v3power is running courses to show you how. v3power is a recently formed Nottingham based social enterprise organization, dedicated to providing affordable renewable energy solutions.

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.

If you would like to know more, please contact  info@v3power.co.uk . Please circulate this information to any of your friends or colleagues you think might be interested.

Which planning law did they ban you on?
Ive heards laws have changed, but some councils are still being idiots over it. Which council was this?,maybe we can all help kick them up the arse & stop just paying lip service.
V3 what are the planning laws now?
I am want to go on course when I can, if people are on dole & want to get trained can they try & get new deal etc to pay for the course, rather than some menial, boring corporate job.
