following a rabbit hole around ebike motors, I stumbled on this interresting project of kite windmills of @roddyread windswept.energy/

it looks like for development they use ebike wheels to generate electricity with "small" models

I'm wondering where the project is at now ?
looks like the big 50KW is not happening now ...
but what about some 1KW the same size as the dev version, in Kit, for remote areas or even small group expedition ?

Exploring Spain in photographs: Molino del Pozo de los Frailes

On the edge of the village of Pozo de los Frailes is this wonderful restored windmill. I was hoping for some light cloud, rather than a featureless blue sky. Unfortunately, it was not to be.
