N7TCD's Wind Generator PDF Print E-mail
Written by Administrator   
Wednesday, 18 April 2007
Bill Steward, N7TCD, is the first guinea-pig to get a generator up and on-line at his station.  Using a 12v PMA from HydrogenPower.com, and a 12v 800 Amp-hour battery package, Bill's experimenting with a few items in his quest to have a stand-alone power generation system.  (Bill - let's get some pix, and spend some time editing this to explain what you've done so far, where things stand, etc.)

Well, we could have called it "Public Works" but that just seemed so...  Monopoly-ish!

 

You'll note, hopefull, that after you clicked on Public Projects, a few new selections appeared below that button...  For example, Alternative Energy and Antenna Projects...  Select one of the choices presented and step into the arena of your choice.  We promise, there are no gladiators lurking around.

I've always liked the idea of a small-loop antenna, but never had the time or energy to build one.  Now that I've got some time, let's find some energy...

Wind Generators PDF Print E-mail

There's been a lot of discussion within the group about Wind Generators and generating electricity from alternative sources.  We'd like to share some of our lessons learned and explore new ideas.

 

Why alternative power?  If you've been involved in emergency communications, disaster management, and amateur radio for any period of time, you know that an auxillary power source is paramount for continued operations.  Sure, you could go pick up a generator and run from that system in an emergency, but where's the fun in that?  What happens when your fuel-source is cut off?  Damnit!  We're hams!  We're supposed to have SOLUTIONS!!!
