Offer in the wind

Engineer: The Professional Bulletin for Army Engineers, March 11, 2005 by J. Simmons

I am a retired mechanical engineer and over the past 20 years or so I have been building a wind turbine.

The machine is more than 90 per cent complete, but owing to my age and lack of resources it is unlikely to be finished. So I am hoping to find a young graduate mechanical engineer who would be interested in completing the project.

I propose to give the machine to anyone who is interested and who I think would be competent.

The machine is a horizontal axis, two-bladed design, 12ft diameter swept disc, with 24ft tall tower. I would welcome your suggestions to achieve a satisfactory 'handover'.
