Sandy knocked my wind turbine around a bit. It's bruised but not broken. Today is one of the last days before Winter and the northerly winds is coming back. I'm surprised this little vawt is still working and maintaining my small battery. It gives no more than a few watts but I enjoy watching it spin when I'm sitting inside the house. Built on a bicycle axle and 24 magnets and 12 coils. It's a toy that keeps on giving.
