Terry McMenomy shows his unfinished wind catcher turning in a variable breeze while his wind meter moves up and down, "less than 10." Peter Lindemann discusses his shift from self-running electric motors to wind energy, and McMenomy shows their conventional windmill, which goes into fault when the wind spikes.
The full talk adds variac-driven fan tests of cross-flow and Savonius models, a leaf-blower spin that lasted two minutes, and which rotor turned fastest against which had the most torque. Lindemann also answers an online question about mass flow and back pressure, and calls the work "only the beginning of a research project."
