Started this new thread in order not to hijack the Aldi satellite thread.
That's interesting Dave as, when I looked at the VAWT earlier this year I couldn't work out a satisfactory mounting method.
We don't have a bike rack but do have the fittings/clamps to take a 1 inch diameter TV aerial pole. So, my questions are:
What diameter is the pole you got from Maplins and do you have a link to their web site?
If the diameter is OK I assume that I would need to have a pole long enough to reach to the ground in order to take the weight?
Hi Dave, The windmill does everything it says on the box. Am well pleased with it. Have scraped the idea of roof fixing and got a 2 piece pole from Maplins.
It clamps to the bike rack on the back of the van and gives more height.
Am now busy working on a tracking solar system made from an old analog satellite dish.
