I'd build one, but I get so much "windshadow" from the trees,
hills, (I can see the wind blowing 'uyp there' - and none of it down
here) and whatnot ... maybe I'll make a steam engine.

Or try a Stirling, if you just want a small project. No pressure gauges, no
feed pumps, no blowups, no boiler cleaning...


Oh, but where's the fun in that?

I was thinking a small one. Maybe made of wood & bamboo. I think
I saw something like that on MythBusters....
