| Someone suggested to us that we should include a story about us on the
"Turbine Adventures" page. I guess we never thought about that!
Most of our story is already on the "About Us" page so I won't
go into great details here.

 |
As promised, here are the pictures of the stop switch, prior
to installation, that Craig installed on the new 12 footer. |
 |
 |
Here's a couple of shots of me, Connie, standing beside the
new tail. Good perspective. Shows just how big this tail is! |
 |
 |
More tail shots showing both sides. |
 |
 |
Look how big those blades are! Wow, I think we need a bigger
test tower!
Craig trying to phone Mike # 1 to get him to give us a hand to put this
thing up, but I guess he's getting tired of cranking! Guess what Mike, we
have an electric winch now! No more cranking and cranking and cranking! |
 |
 |
Craig making some final adjustments. |
 |
 |
Our brand new electric winch. Worked like a charm! |
 |
 |
There she is! Up and churning out lot's of power! |
 |
 |
Look, it's actually furling on the very first day. We are
very happy! |

turbine.
Right, Craig working on a blade for our first Axial Flux turbine |

Craig modeling his lovely blades. Notice the beautiful salad
bowl nose cone. Sexy! |
 |
 |
Me working on the tail and Craig getting ready to put the
turbine up. |
 |
 |
Almost ready! |
 |
 |
Putting on the blades.
Yep, it's going up there! |
 |
 |
Ready to go! |
 |
 |
Halfway there!
Mike and Craig took turns cranking the winch. |
 |
 |
Almost there!
My job is to follow from the other end with the small winch to ease the
tower into position. |
 |
 |
There she is, up and ready to go!
This was Bailey, our supervisor dog. Sadly, Bailey is no longer with
us. She is greatly missed! |
 |
 |
A good shot of the tower and gin pole and our horse checking
everything out! |
 |
 |
A great little turbine! |
