Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8Overall it was a class few days. Thanks again to V3 and also for the use of the shed for the workshop. I especially like the fact that alot of people from the area called in just to have a look and seem very interested. Also that a few people who were on the course are already talking about making their own turbine, is great.
V3's website is actually here: http://v3power.co.uk
or the blurb on the course we did is here: http://v3power.co.uk/Jan10.php

Looks like I missed a really 'powerful' learning opportunity up in Erris - may those blades keep spinning and powering the resistance to $h€ll for many years to come!
Exactly what people in this country need to start thinking about learn to do it yourself, and stop being screwed by multinationals and corrupt governments
