Gunars Rodins private homepage ENG
There is very little information for english reading people :(
Excuse me, but i will use Google translator to allow you see the progress in 2010 year and in 2009 year .
Thats because most page content is targeted to find solutions for our democracy crisis, national independence, economical long-term solutions, which I think is not very interesting for You.
Only interesting thing is my Vertical Wind generator project, that has begun 2 years ago.
Maybee you have interest in real wind data, captured every 10 minutes at 1m height. That is usefull to make simulations, if you know your own wind turbine performance output chart - see what you will have at end running a year this thing.
