no worries

interesting to see the trailer hub being used that way, I found many uses over the years for axle stubs and hubs, biggest project was a sliding gate (that weighed well over a hundred kilos) using axle stubs to support it and power the gate opening/closing system they had to take the whole weight of a gate big enough for semis to turn through, yet the gate itself couldnt have jockey wheels as the driveway was on a slant
Was quite the engineering job as as it closed, a triangular piece lowered itself into the gap under the gate proper so you couldnt slip under it (by the time it was fully closed, the gate was nearly 2 ft above the ground!)

Knowing what I know now, I would have it up on a pole... but I gave it to Dennis back in the day.... I think he found love and dropped windmills, so no idea of where it is at present.

It would have been perfectly fine.... but I was comparing it with my axial flux which I could pull 5kw out of... so the 1kw or so from that was not worth considering.

Like I said, knowing what I know now, I would have shown a lot more respect for it.. it would have been ideal, and a close approximation of the AWP... which has been a real winner down on this island for about 10 years in the marine wind.

I have not touched a PJ /w7 board for a long time, and they are still running around the island.

I trust yours is still fine too.

I actually liked the way I used the strip steel. ( from power pole cross arms ) to make the drum. She was solid... wish I still had it.

Hi John(Oztules),

I,ll see if Dennis has still got your handywork-maybe,he,s a hoarder,nice type of hoarder,that is!.
the W7 circuit post is on energy matters forum if you like to catch up ,I go under the name of solar@wind ,some sort of stuff-up with my brucedownunder name.

I,m installing a remote for my W7 up stairs in the living room to monitor and control it ,mainly so I don,t have to go under the house at night.

My W7 has a db9 remote connector mounted on it,s own pcb and I can,t tell ,by looking at it, which wires go where. I,d like to put a tail on it to hold a RG type connector which is supplied from the chinese maker. therefore ,I,d like to get the color code of wiring correct -only 3 wires.

Hope you and the family are all well

Bruce
