Here is an illustration that will be used in the new edition of the French version of my Recipe Book. It’s the smallest Recipe machine (popular in France) which is only 1.2metres in diameter. This amazing explosion was created by Roland Beile for Tripalium.
4.2 metre, 24V battery charging machine based on my Recipe book and constructed by a Tripalium workshop in France 2 years earlier. In this video Jay Hudnall of Tieole is conducting a service of the turbine with help from the owners. I filmed it.

Diameter D = 1.04 m
Number of blades B = 3
Design tip speed ratio ld = 3.5
Mass including 1 m tower pipe m = 4.85 kg
Starting wind speed Vstart = 2.6 m/s
Survival wind speed Vsurv = 30 m/s
Cut in wind speed (if started) Vcut in = 2 m/s
Rated wind speed Vrated = 8 m/s
Nominal voltage 12 V DC
Power at rated wind speed P = 6 W
In this manual the 3-bladed VIRYA-1.04, electricity generating windmill, is described. The generator of this windmill is made of a Shimano Nexus hub dynamo type DH-2R40 or another type with similar flange dimensions. It is expected that, together with the detailed drawings, the windmill can be manufactured in a simple workshop.

thanks Adriaan!
My wind turbine buiding worshop was organised by and located at the Nordic Folkecenter for Renewable Energy, Kammersgaardsvej 16, Sdr. Ydby, DK-7760 Hurup Thy, Denmark
Here is a new video of the workshop I helped Tripalium to run in France. It’s in French language. Thanks to Jay Hudnall of Ti’eole for inviting me. Location is Lîle near Toulouse
Date: 20-24th May 2013
Organised by and located at the Nordic Folkecenter for Renewable Energy, Kammersgaardsvej 16, Sdr. Ydby, DK-7760 Hurup Thy, Denmark
Participants: 15 people
Project: 3 metre 48-V machine with ferrite magnets (3F design)
Date: 13-17 May 2013
Organised by Tripalium and Tieole
Participants: 18 new people, 7 from Tripalium and me, Hugh Piggott
Location: Lîle, Bordeneuve 31290 Vieillevigne (au bord du canal du midi)
Projects: 4.2 metre grid tied, and smaller 2 metre battery charging using 1.8 metre recipe frame.
date: 20-27 APRIL
Location: Scoraig
4 participants built a 2 metre ferrite turbine (2F) for 24-v battery charging. Also balanced and fitted some 3 metre blades to last year’s 3 metre ferrite turbine.
Photo sequence is a bit random sorry.
Thanks to Jon Leary for this long video of my rambling presentation to a group of Engineers Without Borders students at a conference hosted by Strathclyde University on 1st March this year.
