...and we have TONS OF CLASSES on making props, wind maps, formulas for calculating output and more at www.windgenzen.com.


"This class covers the construction of wind generator airfoils, using power tools and a router box for reproducing an accurate angle of attack on each blade in the turbine. This class discusses various power tools from Rockler Woodworking and Hardware. The folks at WindGenZen.Com have written many classes for creating wind generator airfoils and the publishers at eduhosting.org sponsor this website; proceeds go to pay for the 'Free PCs for Kids' program (since 1983), developed by Kids Computer Kamp.

We even offer LIVE CHAT AND FORUM SUPPORT for students. And for professional wood shops, we have paying customers near you and would love to send them your way - click here for details.


NOTE: this class was not written by the folks at Rockler. Please do not contact their customer support center for assistance, shop tips, aeronautical design or class passwords. Through their affiliate program, they have agreed to pay Kids Computer Kamp (KCK), a portion of the sale of tools sold through the links of this class. If you need a belt-sander, drill press or router (all discussed herein), KCK hopes you will click the image of the tool that will do the job for you; right the first time.

While the class is free for Rockler customers, you need a password, sent to you from the folks at KCK. Click the password link above to obtain one and we'll take you step-by-step through the construction of your own airfoil, from carving the blade, to assembling an inexpensive, no-welding, very robust mount and tower, all the way through simple and complex control circuits, also inexpensive and made from commonly available components, all the way to desulfators (advanced students with soldering capabilities).

Eduhosting.org is always looking for innovative ways to serve our communities, from free web hosting to sponsoring classes that help the teachers and programs serving kids, at-risk teens, single parents and seniors. With rising oil prices and issues such as global warming, we thought this class just might help reduce your energy bills, clean up the environment and this airfoil relies on a 'renewable resource', wood; a material of beauty Rockler customers cherish.

The course does cover basic aeronautical theory, but its focus is on the woodworking techniques required to make a quiet, powerful airfoil, with easy to understand and duplicate lines and lots of photos and drawings. The math was developed by a NASA Ames Physicist, the class was developed by windgenzen.com who developed the router box, which saves you a lot of time and insures accuracy. With NASA Jerry's math, the shop at Windgenzen.com produces one of the most beautiful, quiet, high-performance wind generator airfoils on planet Earth.

There are wood shops around the world who rely solely or in-part on alternative energy. Perhaps one day yours will too. Hopefully, by applying this technology, we can all enjoy a cleaner, greener, more wood friendly world."

Sincerely,
