wind generators

[Don Melcher]

Wind power for such an application is VERY common on cruising sailboats
- there are lots of sources and information to be found on web forums in
those communities.

Subject: [HEATH-TEMPE] wind generators

Off topic? Maybe but is ham related. A friend "dry-camps" in his small
motorhome where the wind blows 75% of the time. He minimizes battery use
but does monitor 2 meters. Has anyone experimented with a generator
using wind. 1ampere is enough to keep a trickle going. I was thinking of
a 24 volt brush type motor and using a 3 terminal (7815) regulator iin
series to the charging lead. A pass transisitor could also be used.  As
for driving, an overgrown anemomer cup arrangemant or? Would be
interested. Thanks, Fred W7PRv
