What Are You Doing To Take Action On The Green Movement (besides Obvious)?
Besides the obvious, do you donate to organizations such as Organic Consumers Association (who are trying to battle the big corps), do you volunteer for such organizations? Do you put your money where it makes a point — such as buying organic food and non-food products to help shift the demand? Do you take action on sites such as change.org, signing petitions, creating petitions, making pledges? Do you cut down on consuming/buying, and attempt to reuse items you already have? Have you learned how to do things, like sew, or garden, or cook, that you didn’t do before to conserve?
What Appliances Or Electronics Can I Take Apart To Find A Good Dc Motor To Use In Wind Power Experiments?
I am wondering if I could pick up some piece of trash appliance or electronic gadget at a garage sale and pull a good DC motor out of it to use in experimental wind power projects. The motor would need to contain magnets, and generate a current at relatively low RPM. Do VCR’s or blenders or tape decks or vacuums or shavers or ??? have any good DC motors in them for this kind of application?
