[ELECTRON] Wind Turbines, Heat Pumps and Pedal Generators

[mark meneely]

Hi,
  I'm planning to buy a CAT Wind Kit at some point after the 18th. It's
basically a toy, but I'm interested in how the gears and mechanics work.
If anyone is interested in giving me a hand building it I'll book some
time at the club.

Has anyone used a Gazelle Powerbank? I can't quite work out how you would
pedal it?

with others, even if it is just a kit from the Centre for Alternative
Technology. I would also like to build a ground source heat pump. I would
still like to build a pedal generator to run a laptop and
projector.
