Well here is the second wind turbine not yet abel to find any pic's of the first one down at bottom of pic you can see the Solar charger.





Made some Mods and the FLAG looked very nice up there on a pipe that was from the Flood in Cedar Rapids.







This BOZO aka "BUDDIE" did his best on digging that hole for base of tower, not a finished pic it wound up being much larger.






This is a good shot showing the tower laying down and the first part of the Gin tower is standing up.  Tons of hours went into all the white painted parts. It has to be MEGA strong.






Hey magnets are fun to play with.  You go a head and play I will watch they are fun at start but danger cuse they fly and any thing with metal within feet of them is a risk.




Putting outer magnet plate on.  You keep unscrewing the all-thread cuse the pull with magnets is unreal.





Ok we are ready to try lift, COLD but no wind was the key. Hey ya think that 3,000 pound winch will lift this survay says "YES"  but it locked up half way up what a mess.






We got it Curt, Tom, and I what a undertaking that was. HINT after this shot went inside and ordered a 12,000 warn winch.
