The Great Lakes Zephyr - Wind Energy & Hydrogen Journal

I almost forgot - I talked to my Grandfather the other day, and mentioned I was getting involved in promoting wind energy. He's been the elder in a family line of tinkerers for years. He was telling me how he'd created his own farm mill in the thirties crafted from a Dodge starter-generator and wooden props with a kit bought from a mail order catalog. That was the only electricity they had at the time, it was used to charge batteries and for limited lighting. Radios were still pretty scarce with little programming at the time according to him. The first thing I'd asked him was if he'd used it to power radio. It seems wind has a family tradition for the Staffords. Good night, all.
