Going to collect some shipping pallets and do another experiment. Will
take about 51 pallets to build a cabin my future wife wants. I get about
2 pallets a day from work. Will try to build a simple small structure in
back yard and see how it goes.

Wind turbine test again
Bent a nut to stop wheel from free spinning. Now bike axle spins the
whole drill head. I had a friend hold and watch the multimeter. On
setting #10 had constant 3.0 and highest of 3.22v from hand spinning. On
setting 24 I got as high as 2.90v and on setting 1 got 0.32v Im thinking
I may get 12v if I attach the drill to a stationary bike. Would be a
great exercise activity. But maybe 7mph winds would spin it. All depends
on constant wind speeds in the valley. Will get a blocking diode this
week. Have to find a way to stop it from spinning opposite way which
makes the volts negative. I really can't believe this simple tech works
for charging batteries..

All beware TIRES PLUS AUTO CARE
Went 4 alignment, 2 HOURS later, they claimed my gear box was leaking
all over the place, truck wouldn't stay running, brake petal went all
the way to the floor. I drove truck over 100 miles yesterday, stayed
running whole time, gear box leaking everywhere would leave puddles when
I park, I was at flea market, no puddle, at work, no puddle, at
concession stand, no puddle, driveway at house, no puddle. My brake
petal never reached the floor ever.. Well I saved $99 alignment money
and caught a scam company in the process... will take elsewhere next
week.

Wind turbine project construction
Ok couple of problems. Yes youtube video told the truth. During test,
bike wheel does blow with no fins. But to generate the volts, trigger
needs to be engaged, and the head needs to spin, not just the wheel.
Have to lock the axle of bike wheel somehow so it spins the whole drill
head. My test results were 1.5v to 2.5v just hand spinning. But if I can
lock the axle and have wind we can make enough volts to charge batteries
for montello.

Wind turbine project shopping
As soon as its 930am eastern I am packing up my stuff at flea market
then I can shop for wind turbine materials, a cordless 12v or 14.sv
drill and a bike wheel.. Will build it saturday along with solar
heater.

Thermometer test
110 degrees inside my car at 730pm in florida during sunset time. Did
not make the solar heater that's just the temp inside a florida car.
