    How do I make a mini wind turbine safe from lightning

    I hear lightning sometimes, I'm nervous and clueless and wonder if a steel pole and turbine is an attraction. It's also right beside our Mobile home. Advice is greatly appreciated

    Hello Have purchased a 500 w mini wind turbine to help charge leisure batteries in our temporary mobile home. I have sourced and fabricated a sturdy metal bracket to mount it 6 metres in the air. It's connected back to the batteries in the Mobile which is connected to an inverter to provide...

    Motor options for electric tug

    Thanks, Yes have seen them, one or two of those together should move a tonne, they are on the short list

    Motor options for electric tug

    The controller s on a chair would be ideal though. The weight is probably too much for the wheelchair motors. I need this to work flawlessly, don't mind spending some money on it. Saw a similar machine on sale for 15 k . I have all the steel needed but how best to propel I need to work out.

    Motor options for electric tug

    That's a good idea, trying to think of things that might work. Looking at videos of wheelchair motor projects. Would wheel chair motors have enough power to pull a tonne to tonne and a half?

    Heating electric controls running hot/ burning, oil heating

    Would the mechanical clock/control s solve the problem? I understand what you are saying about manual operation, I saw that switch myself :) but how would we turn on the heating with the digital panel gone, just use the main power switch? Thank you very much !!

    Heating electric controls running hot/ burning, oil heating

    Hi thanks, so you mean the electric valve switches are not needed? Or just the Electronic control box needs to go, the easiest for me would be to get the mechanical version as all the wiring is done already ? Just tested over 4 hours on generator, no heat on panel, that must mean the problem is...

    Heating electric controls running hot/ burning, oil heating

    Thank you and everyone else, just have the heat on now off the generator, no heat off it, I need to change the inverter but it'll probably be the same. Will the mechanical one still work with the hot water the accuracy of clock is not so much of an issue, hard to have constant power, the change...
