I have just received my WS2308. I like the shape and basic functions. I should run a distant communication test. I am looking for a mast solution to get it mounted on. It should be at least 24m tall and safe. I have also received today Paul Gipe's book the "Wind Power" revisited . First impression; it's great. In a manner of 30 pages read I learned more on wind power then by 3 weeks of struggle on the internet. Books are still useful.

Here is a wind atlas of Turkey.

Yes I need a lot of power.
And where we are, the power is in the air. Its the wind.

Everyday I turn around and have lucid moments that I feel the great force surrounding me. The lower level of the atmosphere moves towards the earth. It just passes there and disappear without being caught.

I run two distinct sites. The first; with 3 cooling machines it sucks
88'000kwh of power per year. The second is a small farm, distant 2km of my first site and uses 25'000kwh per year (because of several pumps and a greenhouse)

But how much power is in the air? I have no specific numbers related to my site. No nearby weather station. Nearest is at Istanbul Yesilkoy Airport at 60km. I will have to collect my own data. After a long search on the web I found this machine Lacrosse WS-2308CH and ordered it from http://www.weatherpeddler.com . It should be shipped in this week. I am impatient to receive and set it up. It collects and log data of humidity, rainfall, temperature, wind speed and direction. It displays actual data on screen and data can be continously uploaded to PC by serial port.

I hope this to give me crucial data in middle term.

This blog is created to cover my journey starting from a high energy bills payer to level of power supplier by the aid of natural & regional forces.

We are inspired by Vata, protector of wind. He will survey and guide us trough accomplishement.

We just have to call his name,

Blow vata, blow.

es vata es.
