Do you have stacks of old computer equipment gathering dust ? Now you can put
some of it to use! This guide shows you how to use PC fans as mini wind generators
for recharging solar lights and ni-cads. You'll need some basic soldering skills, but
this is otherwise a very easy project. My little wind generator makes around 1.5 - 2V
in a 8mph wind, about 20ma into a ni-cad. This wasn't a huge success, I'd hoped to
get a little more power out of it. Thanks for reading! Please be sure to check
