Here is my first attempt to build a Microwind Turbine from scrap I had lying around my workshop. As already stated that the SAWDOS envisage to be off the Eskom grid by 2013. I already started working on a larger and more powerful wind turbine. I will post further information as the project develops. I am not willing to fill the coffers of Eskom and I foresee that the man in the street is going to pay even more for electricity in future once the decision has been taken to go ahead with the construction of nuclear power stations in South Africa.

The effects of severe weather are felt every year by many South Africans. To obtain critical weather information, the SAWDOS use voluntary weather observers. These volunteers help keep their local communities safe and informed by providing timely and accurate reports of severe weather to the SAWDOS for publication on the Blog. The SAWDOS is a non-profit organization that renders a FREE COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICE.
