Windmills
The author admits that he has always liked to recycle things and says “I love the concept of taking something labeled as “junk” and making it new again”
He mentions in passing how to make a good income by recycling batteries, but I get the impression that his heart is not in it. His big interest is using recycled goods, just to show that he can do it, and as a step towards self-sufficiency.
I think he proves his claims with this information. In includes
- How to get massive deep-cycle forklift batteries for nothing and recycle them.
- How to creat the blades of windmills for nothing, making about three per hour.
- How to make a 1KW wind turbine for less than $150 including the tower
- How to de-sulphate any lead acid battery and bring it back to new condition
- Why car batteries are no good for heavy work
- How to get free forklift batteries and recycle them to sell at $1500.
- Why 10 windmils of 1KW are better than 1 windmill of 10 KW
You may wonder whether a scrap DC generator that has a permanent magnet will do what you need. There is software included in the package to work out exactly how much power you can expect from your recycled generator. It takes all the guessing out of your generator design.
