Jeff Jones has built a small windmill that he uses to charge batteries. He also has a setup where he can hook this into a house. Jeff is a great "Why spend alot of money" when you don't have to. He will demonstrate the windmill, how to hook up a series of batteries, how to hook solar into them, how the inverter works and hooking it up, and how to hook it into your house. Right now he has an RV he uses with it.

From the 5 exit Mission Bay if heading south, or Clairemont Dr if heading north. Drive toward the bay. At stop sign in front of Visitors center, turn right, the parking lot is on the left. He got this cleared to have an event there January 31, Saturday. He will be there from 11am - 2pm, We will try to have him go over everything around 11:15am so if you have another place to go, you won't spend all day here.

Hopefully we will have signs up.

    • “ Jeff was nice enough to bring all the equipment out to Mission Bay and we got hands on with it. Not enough wind to see it work (blame the perfect weather), but I think we got the idea along with some education on how it's supposed to work. Thanks again to Mark for pulling this off! ”
    • “ Needed more wind. ”
    • “ The demonstration was very informative. Lack of wind prevented the demo from being complete but that is one of the challenges of alternative energy sources. It's unfortunate that Camplands decided not to allow people to meet at the original location. ”
    • “ Notice of location change was late, so I only wasted fossil fuel. ”
