Maker Faire Bay Area 2008
Savonius Wind Power Home Power Plant

Location:   Makers Market   

This Wind Turbine is designed for generating electricity in environments that may not be suited or able to have a standard propeller type wind installation. I am currently making the unit self standing for portability to bring it to the Maker Faire.

About the Maker(s)

Brad Hunter Brad Hunter [
I started out as a computer tech, went into retail for a short while and then became a locksmith. I still love to play with things as any good Maker does. To help with the electric bill and do a good turn for the environment, I started a wind power project that has now become my hobby as well as a resource.
