During the course, two battery charged wind turbines of different sizes have been build. The large freshly born wind turbine is erected and tested for operation. See for a brief image the movie below. The course gave insight in the building proces and covered the basic essentials of wind turbine design and shows how to deal with all the practical issues that arise during the construction.
