13th June

 

Almost finished!  I have to leave at the weekend, so i've been in the tech department of the school trying to get as much done as possible.  My dad and dave stewart (who work at the school) have an idea that they can convince the headman to let them put the turbine up on the roof and get it working properly, charging batteries and running a small lab up there in the science department.   think it's a great idea, and i hope i happens, but there are a lot of safety implications especially in a community school...  Anyway, i put the alternator together and fixed on the blades today and here are the photos to prove it:
