[Peripherals] windmills

[Yamandu Ploskonka]

our windmill in Arequita, Uruguay was on a 20 ft pipe, from the ground, 
tied to the side of the house.

The charger probably was once a car dynamo.  The propeler was hand 
carved out of wood.  This one eventually broke down and I replaced it 
with little success.  I wanted eventually to make a smaller diameter 
propeller with more arms so as to have higher speed at same wind force, 
but didn't relly put effort into it.

A neighbor had a similar setup, he would charge batteries for a fee.

the electricity came to a relay, and then to the battery.

It took us 4 years of paperwork to get electricity from the power line 
that was eventually installed by our farm.
