As I understand it, these things are resonant circuits, and if you are
somehow able to attach the output of a 60 Hz version to a power line,
and chop the low voltage alternator output, and loosely couple it to
the MRA input, you could end up with a windmill that would have a
reasonably high effective output voltage, as a fairly pure sine wave,
loosely phase locked to the chopping frequency. If the windmill
rotational speed changed a bit, and the chopping freq were fairly high
compared to 60 Hz and the rotational speed, it seems possible that one
could lock to a new, slightly different rotational speed. So this
would be a sort of synchronous system, with highish multiply/divide ratios
that would change as the windspeed changed. I'm just kinda rambling here.
Does this make sense at all? I don't have a detailed plan, or even a clear
idea of how this might work, and I don't really give a hoot about all this,
but sometimes these crude ideas work out nicely...

I'd say there is some potential. Something further to explore. I do have
a couple of EE degrees, and 25 years of experience as an engineer, so
I can speak ex-catheter on this particular hunch, if I'm sitting down...

That's an actual quote from a Trace employee, BTW...

I can relate to that. But PEs do a lot of silly things too, and
sometimes they just try to make their lives simple, vs designing
inspired cool systems... The last time I employed a PE was when a house
I owned had a fire, and the building inspector (who had a high-school
education) refused to let me reconstruct it as it had stood for the
last hundred years. So I did a bunch of beam strength calculations,
and got a PE to stamp a dwg, and everyone ended up happy, altho one of
us was a tad poorer. I guess bribing the building inspector might have
been cheaper, and equally safe, from a stuctural point of view :-)

Of course there are people who also believe that one should not do
high-temperature experimental sewage treatment in the attic, that it
makes more sense for licenced professionals to treat sewage in 50 million
dollar treatment plants, connected to every house in the county by pipes
and pumps and sewage blenders. I do think that certain architect would agree
with me that there are alternatives to this sort of over-centralization,
were he to realize that we are on the same side here. 

I just took a PE review course, BTW, and intended to take the exam last
weekend, but the state licensing board had a fire that apparently destroyed
all their EIT records, so I have to somehow go prove that I passed that test
10 years ago... Yuck.

Perhaps if it had a convective loop, or a gravity battery, certain
cylindrical seers would so champeen it.

Sounds good, Harry. Sounds a bit like Bucky's patented "stockade system."

Have you been using a strange spell-checker lately? Or perhaps a Griz filter?
