Wind generator for battery charging

The workshop AMEC also produces a small wind generator for battery charging. It uses the same safety system and construction details as the wind Rope pump. It has a slow running 3 bladed rotor which drives a 100 Watt permanent magnet generator. With wind speeds of 4 m/s it can supply enough energy for 3 light bulbs and a television. It can be produced with basic tools and standard materials.
