A while back, a few people here exspressed an interest in small home made wind turbines..... I have completed one made almost entirely on my homemade CNC router.
It's turned out pretty crap to be perfectly honest, but it was a good learning experience for designing and cutting parts on the CNC. I learnt a few things about wind turbines too. ;-) If you haven't seen it already and want to take a look, you can see it here.

Not to be defeated, I've started on another one. Not so much CNC going on this time tho', but some may still find it interesting.

You are more than welcome to take the piss, if you feel the need. I sure had a good laugh when I saw the power output. If nothing else, it's good fun and keeps me out of trouble.
