INCLUDE_DATA
We'll be using this website to keep our readers up to date on errata from the book, new information about the many "learning experiences" that wind power gives us every week, Frequently Asked Questions, and various rants and raves from the authors. If you don't yet own our book, just GO HERE to get a copy on the way to you.
Hello all –
In our Wind Turbine User’s Manual, we tell readers to contact us for details on how to fabricate the jacking screws and safely remove the front magnet rotor. Of course if you built your turbine from scratch you already have the tools and know how to do this, but some folks buy the completed turbine ‘kit’ from us and never had to go through this (somewhat) tricky and dangerous procedure.
So, DanB recently wrote a page that describes the procedure in detail for the un-initiated. It does have some good, new information about what to look for during inspection and maintenance, even if you already know how to take your alternator apart.
The new page is here:
