Making a simple Savonius wind turbine

Neat idea. Think i have some of the old drive motors somewhere in the barn. Need to dig them up and try this.

I want to see what kind of motor they are using. Rare earth magnets and Oxygen free copper wiring to start off with at the least.

25 watts to achieve 30 mph. Thats less than a watt a mile per hour…

US aims Star Trek ray guns at nuclear sites – vnunet.com

I gotta wonder what type of material it will take to shield against this. Shouldn’t take much.

The first thing that came to mind was the French sound weapon from the mid 60’s. Would work fine till some dampening material was added to the subjects and then no effects.

Not sure what it would take to shield against 95Ghz.

From the site:
“ADT emits a 95GHz non-ionizing electromagnetic beam of energy that penetrates approximately 1/64 of an inch into human skin tissue, where nerve receptors are concentrated.”

Seems to me that the old tin foil hat trick should work fine. Or a body suit impregnated with graphite or metal power. Be interesting to see how long it takes to defeat this “Star Trek Weapon”.

My mom called about 9 to tell me that my dad was out of surgery. He has prostrate cancer and has already had it cut out once. This time they inserted radioactive pellets that are susposed to cause things to shrink. He came through fine. Has to stay in the hospital till he pees good and they see that nothing is gonna come back out that way then will come home.
