Also, if you are familiar with Los Angeles weather, there are seasonal winds called the Santa Ana's which blow through in my area in excess of 100 m.p.h. With all this wind, there is a corresponding problem with downed power lines. I am consequently interested in purchasing a windmill for electric power generation, but there are a lot of variables I still do not know about. How much money will get you how much power? Who makes them? Can I make my own, from scratch, or from a kit? What kind of efficiencies are possible and practical? Thanks in advance... -- Ron Moore (818) 887-4950 Logicon, Operating Systems Division 6300 Variel Ave. Suite H Woodland Hills, Ca. 91367 {the.world}!trwrb!logico!ron
