By: marlin187. on 12 Jul 10, 11:53:57 @jeffmolly1 Hey mate.How can I get in touch with you more effectively than Youtube.I hava a few questions that are very important to me since My plans are to build a few of these to donate.Can you please help me on putting together a reliable system.I have no previous experience but I am a fast learner and have some basic knowledge.Thanks a lot for th evideo and advise.

the guys that sell those are just ripping people off.they need to high rpm to put out anything if they ever do.

we have a much better cooling fan to replace the stock fan with.stock fans don't work.
if used for a wind turbine our hubs have cooling holes in them which works very well,never had a problem.

How about special starter groups where we can ask serious questions without looking stupid. Or how about an adoption system whereby people can attach to experts (for a consideration?). I am interested in Generators /Alternators. Thanks. Somebodyoutthere
