It's up !

New toy

 

tell us more .....

this post had me worried

 

An exterior fan!!!!!!

 

It's a Rutland 504 12 volt wind charger.

But the French word for it sounds better - Éolienne

Back up for the solar panels, 3 weeks with very little Sun and I only had enough power for the lights

 

That'll shed a bit more light on things for you Zigs! Did you need planning permission for it?

It could also double up as a vegetable slicer when the wind's strong.

 

Nice one...but you'll notice how the wind has droppedTypical...

Bit like when I got a Telescope ,beautiful clear sparkling skies and then Loli goes out there freezing them off and there's this nice big cloudy sky to greet me@ARMANDII will be able to tell you too

Still it's early days ,one thing I can be sure of is plenty of wind and clear frosty nights

 

Didn't even think about planning Sheal, not a permanent structure though

Have you seen the Horsehead nebula yet Loli?

 

They're on the front John, not much power from the setting sun at this time of year

 

Would simethicone help, Loli?

 

I 'll stick to the old fashioned Barcarb

 

The question is, is it still up after last nights storm?!

 

Still up but not charging

Got some playing around to do when the wind drops a bit. Somethings not right

 

uh oh!

 

Cos the voltage in the battery is greater than the voltage being generated, thus preventing a current flow through any rectifier and the battery itself?
