A video clip depicting a horizontal bicycle wheel with one side of the axle screwed to the top of a tower platform. This wheel rotates freely. At the location (hole) of the inner tube's valve, I inserted one side of the axle of a rotating "bicycle wheel windmill". The wheels are perpendicular to each other. On the opposite side of the tire valve hole (windmill anchor point), I added a tail supported by a section of aluminum crutches. It is a "wheel on wheel" solution for smooth rotations in both horizontal and vertical planes. The blades of the windmill are made of plastic coat hangers. I originally named it a "hangaround" windmill. That horizontal bicycle wheel will likely be replaced by a scooter or motorcycle wheel strong enough to support a generator. There is a 14 second "front view clip named "windmill on wheel"
On september 19, 2007, I poated WINDMILL ON WHEEL2. Please take a look. P R Paul
If you have seen the video clip for "WINDMILL ON WHEEL" and WINDMILL ON WHEEL1" you noticed that the turbine had a Yaw. This is a downwind machine. Thanks P R Paul
