Slow-speed Listeroid Diesel Generator with 2kw Axial Flux Alternator
This new page details the excellent generator we use for backup battery-charging power at our wind turbine shop. It's extremely quiet, sips fuel instead of gulping it, and sports a new homebrewed axial-flux alternator. We are extremely pleased with how this new system and alternator have worked out, and we can provide the alternator for purchase if you have a similar engine.

OUR NEWEST PRODUCT
Complete Wind Turbine Kits
We are now offering a complete wind turbine kit. It includes a welded frame and tail, completely assembled alternator, all hardware, and a set of blades. All you have to do is mount the blades on the turbine, and mount the entire machine on your tower. We also offer a NEW "user's manual" for our 10-foot wind turbines, highly recommended reading no matter whose wind turbine you have. It details final assembly, towers, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

GREAT PAGE FOR NEWBIES
Designing a solar power system for a camping trailer
This page thoroughly covers all the design considerations, equipment choices and installation procedures DanF used to install a tiny, inexpensive 40-watt solar power/battery/inverter system in his camping and fishing trailer. It's a great reference for learning the basics of sizing and purchasing a renewable energy system of any size and scale.

Wood-Fired Steam Engine 2kw Backup Battery Charger
We always have lots of work to do in the wind turbine shop, but it's OK to have some FUN now and then isn't it? We recently got this vintage steam engine running, and built a 2kw axial-flux alternator for it. It's a great backup battery charger for the shop, and allows us to say "We get our electricity from firewood!" Plus it's a heck of a lot of fun to run! You can hear the steam whistle from 2 miles away when we get a full head of steam built up and start making power.
