Workshop #1: Wind Power
On Saturday, December 2nd, over 25 participants gathered to design, assemble, and test small wind turbines. Through doing so they gained first hand experience with small wind power systems and participated in laying the groundwork for an exciting clean energy project in the NYC community. The workshop experience will feed into the design of a larger permanent turbine in the spring of 2007.
Thanks to Morgan Barnard for shooting and editing this excellent video, with assistance from Megan, Angela, Alice, and Pollie.
