Updated version of the best selling step-by-step guide to designing and building a wind generator from scrap and recycled parts

Description
"As one of civilisation's oldest forms of mechanical energy, windpower has long provided the closest thing to being able to 'magic' clean energy from thin air. As the true costs of fossil fuel use have been unmasked, the ancient art of windpower has made a steady comeback. A growing number of countries are now promoting wind energy generation as part of a drive towards a sustainable future. Yet many environmental and 'gadget' enthusiasts prefer a far more DIY approach. What Windpower Workshop provides is essential information for the individual wanting to build and maintain a windpower system for their own energy needs.
