Turbine

YES-2-Tech
Today was rather intriguing. Since I came back we have a new and more challenging goal to accomplish. Fabricating a WIND TURBINE. This will be the second addition to our geodesic dome. This is kind of complicate but I know it will just take some time. I ran across this one specific type of wind turbine called a Savionus Wind Turbine. It has a interesting feature based off the fact that it's shaped like an 'S'. In my opinion I believe that this type of wind would be best for what we're doing. I was looking at this web site http://www.reuk.co.uk/Savonius-Wind-Turbines.htm and what I discovered was quite helpful. This wind turbine is good for pumping water and according on how the turbine will be used to help filter the water for the fishes. I don't directly know how the two will connect but my ideal is like the turbine will conduct the electricity that will go to some type of generator which will power the filter. Well hopefully I have some type of clue lol, until farther notice this is my ideal.....

Thanks for the detailed blog Diamond! Your blog has lots of information about wind turbines and renewable energy.  The wind turbine you found sounds like it could have a lot of benefits, so I'm sure we'll do more research about it! Thanks for all of your hard work and enthusiasm!
