Roll on the 20th June

   And now that its out I can sleep. This ones for Archer. Since I have no family close,
This is my present to the world for us both.

   My unit has 5lbs on each slide making 10lbs. This little motor will pull it straight up
with ease. These were destined for power windows originally and are very capable. They
draw two amps at 12v and run for about one second twice per rev. This all mounts to a
wind gen head that is capable of 25 amps. I am being conservative in stating 15 amp.
The unit if built to last, will last for a long time 24/7. This is a single rotor now but will be
having the second added very soon. I have chose to make mine out of "what I could find"
to show just how easy they are.

   Time to rock the house.  If you have questions, fire away. If you are just here to ride the
wave, be silent. In usenet we had a list for that. It was called the plonk file.

   Now for that bottle of Fat Bastard wine I have been saving.

Do you have a video??

   Sadly no way to make one. I am poor now since I lost >30% of my work hours. Soon
I hope.

It looks very exciting. What exactly will the device do? Is it mounted to a wheel?  Sorry I dont' understand exactly from your post.

   Basically it is a gravity wheel. The slides will have 5lb lead weights on them. The motors
move the two opposing slides together from side to side. When timed correctly, it forces
the wheel to turn with substantial torque. The output shaft will be geared up to drive a wind
generator head. These range from 200 to 1000 watt output. I am looking to get around 300
out of this one for now.
   In essence it is a wind generator that needs no wind and runs 24/7. Build it good and build
it big and you can feasibly drive an AC generator with it. I just intend to use it for DC use and
maybe an inverter. This is aimed at thoes that want to live off grid but have lights and such. It
can be done. Just build it.

   As stated , it it GPL and thats General Public License so it is my design but anyone can
build and use it, modify it as long as it stays free to use and not be patented and shoved on a
shelf some where in a dark room.

   When I can get a video cam, I will film it. I hope the drawing is useable, I am not an artist and
can not seem to figure out how to use cad. Not my thing. If someone out there wants to draw it
up in 3D and animate it, be my guest.
