Small Wind Turbine Design Notes

Notes based on a session during the Centre for Alternative Technology Windpower Course 
Notes written and taught by Hugh Piggott with input from Claus Nybroe. 

 Hugh Piggott writes: 
 The first time I did this talk at CAT they threw me in with no preparation, "Just come as you are!"
and I had to wave my arms about a lot. Since then I have done it countless times, but I still get more
than a few blank looks. It's probably the most obscure bit of the course. Finally after about ten
years, I have produced a full set of notes. I am so pleased, I asked Ian to put it on his site, and he
has! Thanks Ian. Sorry I did not explain Betz's theorem, or 'tip speed ratio'. Buy my book
'Windpower Workshop' and read the whole story :­)
