I would like to sell my license of V Carve Pro 5.5 for 200.00 USD.

Impressive.

That’s interesting. I saw the idea mentioned in a YouTube video regarding the counter rotating generator idea and mentioned it to a retired electrical engineer friend and he was not over positive...

Nice clean design! I also find your generator design real interesting. Coraplast or corrugated plastic makes sense. Great material and it looks professional.

There is a company that has a new...

I corrected the mistake and uploaded a revised version. I also added a quick photo for a third arm configuration.

"making sure endmills don't machine clamps"

Now that is a challenge. HA! I feel your pain although I have limited CNC experience I have done this. At least twice. I was real proud and confident of...

Hey your observation was on the money and all of your comments make sense to me. I will go ahead and fix the mistake and at the same time add the third arm design. The time to make the simulation...

Your Observation Is Correct! – Thank You

I reluctantly went back into the simulation to check your observation regarding the long turnaround time for the control surfaces and you are correct. At...

After going over your idea again, I think this might be a little closer to what you are thinking of.

I hope you find time to work out some sketches!

I have to admit I didn’t know the term nutating but I looked it up. MS Word didn’t know it either. I do have a video I call a "Gyroscopic Wind Turbine" that I think meets this definition but what you...

Thanks for your honest feedback. You make some very good points.

The objective for this project was to use large surfaces attached to long lever arms for the purpose of generating power at very...

Hi,

I have uploaded a new wind turbine concept project. The basic details can be found in the written description. Thanks, Bill

Thanks for your comment. I too have many questions regarding this concept model. I couldn't resist the challenge of drawing it out and making it work in simulation. I wondered what a gyroscopic wind...

Here is a link to my newest design.

Hi Bob,

No, I have not applied for any grants. My drawings become public domain when I upload them to YouTube. At least that is my understanding. I have been interested in wind power for a long...

I have uploaded a new video. This is my second upload in the last week. Thanks for your interest.

Thanks Bob,

I have two more designs in the works. The next one I will upload will only work in special locations but it is real simple compared to the wild concepts I have on YouTube at the...

Hello, I have uploaded a new low speed wind turbine simulation. Thanks, Bill

Unfortunately the video didn't work on my computer. Windows Media Player opened but there was only a black screen. I appreciate your effort. You must have a smooooth running clock to run on only 2.5...

Thanks Bronek. That is a very nice looking clock. If you remember, how much weight do you use and how much weight did the orginal design need? Oh, and how long did the orginal design run?

I didn't...

Thanks Gingernut. I've missed some of your messages until now. I look forward to seeing what plans you offer. I really like your clocks!

Hi Bob,

I did a very rough experiment that I assembled on site about 9 years ago of the J1 design. The experiment proved out the basic mechanics but that's it. No Shop + No Money = No More...

I have added some explanations to the Wind Gin Long Version.

Thank You,
Bill Jenkins

Those are some pretty clocks!

I wish I could design clocks. I have the CAD skills and a CNC machine. I even have a program to draw gears. Those of you that actually design your own clocks amaze...

Thanks for sharing all the details of the Orrery build. It is a beautiful piece of mechanical design and craftsmanship. I’m sure it will be a super education device and a wonderful addition to a...

Here is a 3D CAD simulation of the MLT-13 that I just finished.

Hi,

You might find my VAWT concepts interesting. Here are the video links.

Hi Bob,

I would definitely like to hear about your clock building experience. I remember now that you mentioned that you had built a clock.

Thanks for suggesting this clock. If I'm successful...

John,

Here is the link to the site where I found the link. http://www.woodenworksclocks.com/KitsPlans.htm

WOW, your site will take a while to go over. I look forward to searching through it...

Thanks John,

While surfing the web for wooden gear clocks, I ran across your name and I think there was a link to a web site for your clockwork but the link didn't work. Do you have a web site?
