Cost: £80 per person
Daniel will be showing you how to build a simple, low cost vertical axis wind turbine using $20-30 worth of easily sourced local recycled materials and basic hand tools.
It’s an easy process, no previous experience is necessary.
To reserve your place please email info@coedtalylan.org.uk or call 07808168562
The turbine is powerful, rooftop-scale, sturdy, safe, quiet, and efficient. Information will be provided on how to mount everything and attach applications for producing electricity, irrigation, air-conditioning, refrigeration, and other uses.
Daniel Connell, is a renewable energy and open source technology designer. For the last eight years He has been working on setting up collaborative project spaces and giving practical making workshops in Australasia, Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
The build process, with details on materials and tools, is documented in full on his website: http://opensourcelowtech.org/wind_turbine.html
And there is an online community where you can ask questions and receive support in building and installing your own.
The day will also include a presentation and discussion on off-grid living, low-tech alternative infrastructure, open source hardware, my recent building project trips through Central America and India, and upcoming work deploying these kinds of solutions in refugee camps and remote communities.
Places are limited, so booking is essential.
All tools and materials are provided. We will be making one three-vane turbine per workshop, which will then be donated to a local community project.
Feel free to share and invite others.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
