It works! After several trials and obtaining a snorkel lift, the wind turbine will charge a battery. No electricity from any outside source, just wind powered! This one is approximately 30 feet tall. Ed had to dress it up so he went with chrome tread plate for the motor cover and tail fin. It's kind of blinding when the sun is just right. He picked one of the colder days of the year to work on the thing too, but thats Ed!
We always seem to be in the middle of one project or another. We are avid rockhunters and drusy is one of our specialties that we collect and sell. We do some occasional arrowhead hunting, build things (airboats, rc cars, haunted house items, who knows). We hunt, fish and hike. This is just a blog to show the things we do. Ed can build anything as you can tell when browsing the blog. I do a lot of crafts, mostly sewing. I've been doing candles non stop for a very long time as well.

I have a video of it posted on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/user/Chinook203
Here is the windmill. This test wind turbine was put up on the property around 2am today. We are already reworking the blades some.
