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.<br>

A neighbor had a similar setup, he would charge batteries for a fee.<br>
<br>
the electricity came to a relay, and then to the battery.<br>
<br>
It took us 4 years of paperwork to get electricity from the power line that was eventually installed by our farm.<br>
