This page gives a 500 Error (and a Java exception report). What happened? Can this instructable be re-uploaded? We are attempting to build a single-height version of the VAWT, similar to what _used_ to appear on this article.

Thanks for looking into this issue!

Good thing I saved the page while it was still hosted :). I am referring to it now. I might use "maglev" instead of bearings (like high-speed trains, roller coasters, and future large scale VAWTs). Maybe i'll make an instructable for those of us who don't care how little something sells for, as we prefer to be self sufficient.

Hi, for some reason Instructables didnt let me remove it completely. I have opened a contract to mass produce them. Hopefully for less than you can buy the materials for. I should have a better idea of costs within a month. I am sorry for keeping the information to myself, but there is a huge population that will benefit if I can get this done. Whole regions of third world countries as well as those of us looking out for the environment in technology based countries. I plan to sell a kit with the alternator already built and you can make your own windmill as well as a whole project kit. Contracts are already in play, so this isnt something Im still fishing for. Check out spinpower.org - my new website dedicated to making these available ASAP. - Brad

OK, awesome. Thanks for the update and the link! Unfortunately, we've already invested heavily in parts and tools; and, we can't wait one month to complete this, as in one month our deployment must be ready. But, that being said, should we need more, we'll definitely consider sending business your way. Thanks!

Hello, and welcome to Instructables!
I have realized that you did not receive a greeting from ewilhelm (Eric) or the Instructables Robot, so here you go!
I do NOT work for Instructables, but I give out greetings once in a while and help people on Instructables.

Welcome again, and just have fun here.

If you have any questions, you can contact the Instructables staff, or me. If you do not know who they are, you can check them out here. Just click on one of the accounts at the link I just gave you (somebody in the Instructables Team/ Interns/ Advisors) and ask them in a private message or comment. You can click here for a guided tour of Instructables, or click here for an Instructable about how to make your own Instructable.
You can ask me about anything on this website, how to change your profile avatar icon, posting Instructables, anything! I'll be here for you.

Have fun here at Instructables!
