Three big wooden blades to catch the wind for spin. It looked like a pretty kewl project to me! It is supposed to generate about 400 watts at low wind speeds and doesn't look all that difficult to make.


Solar power and wind power are basically free once you get the system set up.

Most parts of the Big Island just aren't windy enough to make it worth trying to get electric power from the wind. Hawi, Waikaloa, and South Point and windy enough. Puna not so much.
