Back by popular demand, Dayne Ellanna has adapted his wind energy
class to focus on building a 3Kw wind turbine. You’ll get a practical
introduction to alternative energy concepts while learning basic laws
of electricity (AC and DC) and basic principles of electronics, wind
energy, and some basic thermo- and aerodynamics. This course assumes
no previous knowledge of electronics. Students will build two 3Kw
turbines as a group.
Dayne Ellanna is a senior analyst and programmer at the UAF
Geophysical Institute. Originally from Nome, Dayne has over 20 years
