Galway Home-Built Turbine

[cye]

This is Dermot Leonard's wind turbine, built to Hugh Piggot design I believe.

Amazingly great work!

Do tell us more Dermot!

Here's some pics of the course attended by Dermot when he was building his turbine

Great photos. What is the power output like? Do you charge batteries?

I'll email Dermot and ask him (he does not visit the forum often).

I had stumbled upon the pics and recognised Dermot (you and I met him at the first solarco-op workshop in Galway).

I know he has a grid tie and that he also has a GSHP. No doubt the GSHP will be utilising some of the power he is generating.
