We have had to postpone our next workshop in February which was due to start at the beginning of the month.

It now starts on Monday the 15th and runs until Friday the 19th. {sharethis}

The plan is to build a 2.4m axial flux wind turbine for battery charging, working to Hugh Piggott's design. As usual all the tools and materials for the project will be provided during the workshop.

This is a popular workshop and tends to book up quickly so if you want to come along and learn how to make a working wind turbine then please book now. To ensure that everyone has a good experience given the available space we are keeping the numbers low and we only have room for 10 people. Already we have 4 bookings so there is only room for six more people at this time.

No previous experience is necessary in order to participate in the workshop. Obviously an interest in wind turbines is a good starting place and all the skills required will be taught on the course. There are lots of photos to see here on the website in the gallery so that you can gain an idea of what is involved in the build it yourself course.

Newsflash

Irish Seed Savers Association, Capparoe, Scarriff, Co. Clare

This is a hands-on, practical day. We will be installing a PV (photovoltaic) system to run a few small lights at the cob house. This will be a 12volt, off-grid system running LED lighting. First we will explain what the various components of the system are and how the system will work. Then it's outside where we will be installing the PV panel, running cables, installing the lights, placing batteries in their enclosure and wiring them up, connecting the system up and switching on the lights.
