Those interested in the methane.zip digester construction info it is now 
also available on:
       http://www.gate.net/~dlpaxton
if that doesn't get you there (it does locally) you may have to add 
/index.html. 
Also, I have put up for download paxmil.zip my original plans some years 
back for a verticle axis windmill. I had to shelv the idea for a few 
years but now am able to play with it a little in my spare time. I have 
found that atleast one more blade is needed. I have built a small mock up 
mill and found that the pole it is on vibrates (pulses) because there is 
never more than one blade under power at a time. So my mock up is going 
to 5 blades at 75 degrees apart. If that does not do it I will have to go 
to 6 I guess.

After a couple of weeks I will present my reasons for designing it the 
way I have here in this echo if anyone is interested.

Sorry, I can only post where I am. If anyone wants to take the files and 
post them anywhere else they are welcome to, but I can't spend my life 
trying to place pages or areas evreywhere that can't access me.

I know the feeling. All these TV shows give you information how to access 
them on AOL or other private company and those of us on the outside have 
no way of accessing them.

I'll give it some thought. Right now I am busy adding the 5th blade to 
paxmil to see if the pulsation goes down.
