Back to power

I seem to be doing a lot of visiting of old topics these days. I guess it’s the dialectic process at work. At the moment I’m back to alternate power- no doubt spurred on by Colin’s discussion of wind power. There often seem to be dribs and drabs of energy that nobody uses because it’s not enough at one time. Wind power is a good example of this. I think it would be useful to have a system that can take advantage of these small amounts of energy and store them up until they make a large enough amount. I think one way to do this is to use stored kinetic energy. In relation to this, I’m looking into hand driven generators.
