I finished the greenhouse today. The greenhouse is made from mostly recycled materials. I used discarded sliding patio doors for the glass, a screen door from Freecycle.com, 4″ stone floor, concrete patio planters for containers. The soil is 100% organic and my hopes are to provide at least a salad a day for the rest of my life, organic of course. The music playing is Wayana (sp?) on a rummage sale CD player that’s running off of the sun through 3 solar panels into a car battery, then through an inverter. It’s the first day for the solar panels. If I used an Ipod, I could power 50 -100 of them with what the old CD player is using. That would leave lots of electricity to power a laptop, the router, cable modem and printer and 12 volt florescent lights. Even the batteries in the digital camera can be recharged by using the solar panels. I’ve just discovered LED flashlights with batteries also rechargable off of the sun.

This video is a shortened version of preparing the panels for a MESH DISH conversion. The Acrylic mirror is .118 this is also considered 1/8″ Thicker material does not form well. This is the basics for cutting the material.

A breakthrough invention that can be placed IN FRONTof any wind turbine can more than triple the power generated by the turbine. This invention is a specially shaped stator developed in our wind tunnel. It has NO MOVING PARTS, is NOT POWERED, and can be used with EXISTING TURBINES.
The stator is shaped in such a way as to create a vacuum as air flows over it. The vacuum draws more air into the the device (in this case a fan), which causes the fan to spin faster. The video proves it works.
With this technology, wind turbines can make the power people want. HAWTs will start at lower speeds and be more efficient. VAWTs will make even more power.
In the video, the actual stator is hidden to protect international patent rights. The stator has a SMALLER DIAMETER THAN THE FAN so it is not increasing the intercepted area of wind. We are willing to show this to any media or accredited organization. We will produce these and also LICENSE THE TECHNOLOGY. This stator can be used on wind turbines, jet engines, vehicle intakes, pumps, and everything else that uses fluid motion.
