I am. I have the tower in just behind my house. Antennas hung all over the bottom twenty five feet. The top section of Rohn 12 has the rotation fitting ready for the head.

I am playing with a new blade design now. Think of a conch shell built from heavy tarpaulin. It should look like on of theose cloth spinners you place on your patio. But 6' diameter.

I think I'll call it Vortex. Or maybe Tornado. Light and fast and efficient in a low wind. Here in the high meadows of the rockies our wind is thin. Like the air.

It looks like a windsock laying there waiting for wind. Imagine a parachute that spins and the attachment is direct to a gear reduction in reverse hooked to an generator.

If you were to order it from me it will be shipped in a box weighing less than 40 or so pounds. Placed on a 2" steel pipe 30' or so with guy wires it could go up and be in service in a couple of hours. Start charging deep cycle batteries. Along with 2 to 4 siemens solar panels you could collect plenty of energy to power yourself through anything.

Power when you need it. Of course that is not for drying clothes. Solar does that. I have a solar clothes dryer for sale now. For only $39.95 I can ship a solar clothes dryer. 100' hank of 1/4" nylon rope with 100 clothespins. Wood of course. I have been using that dryer for years now and it never fails to perform well. Instructions are included.
