Like mentioned earlier, the prototype of the 3 meter diameter HughPiggott turbine was finished some weeks ago. Unfortunately the wind at the location of the workshop is only high enough druing a couple of hours per day, and this even not on all days. During the assembly phase, we measured the correct voltage at a… Read more »
With all preparations for the upcoming training, I nearly forgot to communicate that our proto-type is up and running for allready two weeks. In the beginning of july we started the building of this proto-type. We had to figure out where to buy components for the best price. Quality had to be checked carefully, because… Read more »
In close cooperation with the Tanzanian NGO ‘Better Life Tanzania’, wind measurements are started in the very remote Serengeti area. By very remote, I mean: one full day drive on tarred road, overnight stay in a hotel and another full day drive on dirt-road/piste. Everything was planned and prepared very well. Everything…, but one thing… Read more »
The last two weeks, the disabled people of the Wonder Workshop did a fantastic job by producing the complete blade assemblies of four wind turbines! The most work is the sawing, carving and shaving of the aerodynamic blade shape from a beam of wood. They learned the different steps very quickly. They also fully understand… Read more »
For the Windpower Tanzania project to be a success, there are several requirements that must be met. One of these requirements – finding a reliable Tanzanian partner – seems now to be fulfilled by our collaboration with REDCOT (Renewable Energy Development Company Tanzania). The first prototype of our turbine has already been constructed side by… Read more »
