I'd really like to make one of this next weekend. Seriously.
We have a 2m x 4m balcony, so I reckon I could do it. Better not, Jack likes to hang out there so if there are blades out there chopping in the wind - well, it might end in tears. Maybe up on the roof of the building....hmmm.

There is nothing more rewarding and empowering than making a wind powered generator from scrap materials.
