… cutting all of the wood for the outside shower unit. it took me until 19:20, mind you, but it’s all there ready, cut and shaped.<\/p>\n
All that now needs doing is for the two sides to be assembled and to be screwed to the wall of the lean-to and then to fit the bracing that will make the back. One side and the back can then be clad and I’ll have to invent a door for the other side.<\/p>\n
Fitting a floor and a roof should be straighforward and then that will be finished.<\/p>\n
So what else?<\/p>\n
Not much, really. I haven’t been anywhere or done anything, and had no visitors either.<\/p>\n
But we have had the wind – tons of it too. The wind turbine on the house is still going round even as I speak. And it’s been one of those days where more energy has been produced by a small wind turbine rather than a large one, strange as it might seem.<\/p>\n
But the reason for that is simple. Wind turbines have dynamos in them, and a dynamo is really a copper-coiled circuit and a magnet. The more powerful the dynamo in the motor of the wind turbine, the bigger and more powerful the magnet, so it needs more wind to start it. A smaller and less-powerful dynamo in a wind turbine will turn quite happily in wind speeds that aren’t powerful to overcome the resistance of the magnet in a larger wind turbine. <\/p>\n
It’s quite often a fallacy to think that the bigger and more powerful a wind turbine, the more wind energy it will generate.<\/p>\n
And I made a mega-tea tonight. Red-pepper and lentil curry, with enough to keep me going for four days too.<\/p>\n
