4.0 out of 5 stars Very good introduction to windpower, 2 May 2009
By Philip Skinner "Philip Skinner" (Luton, Bedfordshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Roughly 2 weeks after purchasing this book I was able to put together a rudimentaly windmill that although isn't generating any power yet, will run in the wind I designed it for, direct itself into the wind and most importantly will move itself out of a wind that is too strong.

Very good book.

4.0 out of 5 stars catch the wind, 1 Jun 2009
By S. Surey-gent "Kernow celt" (Cornwall, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
building wind turbine made 'easy', well, with a little practical knowhow as well. clearly explained. lets you decide which mill is meant for you, then helps with purchase -v- d.i.y. not buried under mounds of maths.

3.0 out of 5 stars Engineering speak, 20 Aug 2008
By David Jackson (Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book to help me with a project on an OU course and was well rewarded. Although written in Engineer speak for Engineers it is full of useful information about wind energy that is not always included in the classroom course work. It is also refreshingly written in 21st Century Metric values for modern Engineers, not a foot or a yard in sight.
