http://canadianwind.e-earth.ca/homebuiltwindturbine.html
Take a look at my new forum on my website. Welcome!
Design of the generator based on Tesla Technology.

This wooden model of the generator was built by enterprising group of Canadian enthusiasts in order to check possibility of general useing revolutionary new electric circuit and revolutionary new design of a rotor and a stator of the generator.
Materials:
8 NdFeB rare earth magnets grade 40,
12 coils of copper wire 20AWG,
plywood, fiberglass, copper tubes.

Why do we do that?
We want to prevent a fuel and energy crisis in the World.
And we want to save our beautiful planet of Greenhouse gases.

Our business proposal for Canadian and international entrepreneurs is very simple. We are looking for an investor who wants to invest funds in renewable energy sources in Canada.

Why do we need this capital?
We would like to buy land in windy area in Canada.
And there, we would like to build a wind power station with our revolutionary design of electric generators.
And then we would like to sell available electric power to customers (including your interests!!!).

If you interested by the idea above, please feel free to email us your wishes at:

43: Star Clippers Sailing Ship, Solar-Powered Boat Builder

admin — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 21:03:47 +0000

http://www.TheBoaters.TV Episode 43: Star Clippers to Build Largest Sailing Vessel, High School Student Building Solar-Powered Boat, “First Rate” Nautical Nomenclature

First up today: Star Clippers revealed plans earlier this month to build the largest, most expensive sailing vessel ever constructed.

The new gargantuan ship will be 518 feet long (157 meters) and 61 feet at the beam with a 20-foot draft. She is set to debut in 2010 and will accommodate 296 guests (double-occupancy) and 140 crewmembers.

For more information on Star Clippers’ existing ships, visit http://www.StarClippers.com

Next up: Meet B.J. Walling, a 17-year-old high school student who is “engineering a better solar electric boat” as part of the Authentic Scientific Research Program.

B.J. has spent the last two years researching his project and began building his boat this past summer 2007.

His project is supported by donations of supplies from Toms River High School South, Viking Yachts, Harbor Sales, North American Composites, and Cedar Cove Marina.

To learn more about B.J.’s project, visit his website at http://www.freewebs.com/rjwalling/index.htm

To see B.J.’s collection of boat building videos, visit his YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/SurferChico250

We will update you on B.J.’s progress with his project later in the school year.

Finally today, it’s time for some Nautical Nomenclature: “First rate,” a term used to imply excellence, stems from the naval tradition.

From about the 16th century on until steam powered ships took over, British naval ships were rated as to the number of heavy cannons they carried.

A ship of 100 or more guns was designated a “First Rate” ship.

Second rates carried 90 to 98 guns; Third Rates, 64 to 89 guns; Fourth Rates, 50 to 60 guns. And then on down the line to where 48 to 20 guns were fifth and sixth rated.

TheBoaters TV, hosted by Julie Perry, airs 5-7 minute episodes every M, W, & F here on YouTube, and on our vlog at http://www.TheBoaters.TV (where you’ll find a higher res version). Also available on iTunes.

Thanks for watching!
