Hi Guys. This year I went with a small team from I Love Wind Power Brazil to build a HP wind turbine on a wooden tower. This was for a farm near Montes Claros. I want to try and build another better (cheaper) version of this tower for some other community who needs it. So if you are or you know somebody who could benefit from a small wind turbine, particularly in an area where steel is tough to source, please let me know. My voluntary services are ready!

Hi Adam,

Thanks to write us. Marco Ogno that worked in the same project already wrote us for the same wooden tower project. We put him in touch with Technology WG and with Communication team so he can start to spread knowledge within the network. Maybe you can contact him and try to push this project together.

This is his email: Marco Ogno <marco...@gmail.com>

Cheers,

Luciana

Hi Luciana!

Thanks for your reply! I've already been working with Marco the past three years, and I went with him and Giacomo to Brazil in 2017 to finally build the tower.

Anyway, since the prototype is done, I'm basically looking for other opportunities to spread/improve the design and reduce the cost, time for installation etc

If you like, I can give you a presentation about what we did, to give you a better idea, and then we can assess together, whether there are any other projects in the community who could benefit from it
