SCORAIGWIND

I also got another developing world job working for ITDG (now Practical Action) in Sri Lanka and Peru, helping them to make permanent magnet alternators for small wind projects. I went for the simplest design this time - the axial flux alternator - and I still like them best to this day. You can download this design here http://www.scoraigwind.com/pmgbooklet/itpmg.pdf although I have improved it a lot since then... Another book that I wrote that is still available is "Windpower Workshop". It's more of a reference book for building turbines rather than detailed instructions. I wrote it in 1997 but it has just been thoroughly updated this year... I have written too much here but not nearly enough to tell you all of the stuff I would like to tell you. Still maybe it gives you an idea of who I am in case you actually wanted to know. Thanks for reading this far. If you have questions about home made windpower then send me an email at hugh@scoraigwind.
