Much better chance of getting a decent charge - if the wind is blowing

I think Apole has been trying out some decent photovoltaic's with a proper charger again for marine use well canal boats I think!

This is an interesting website too http://www.solar-wind.co.uk/wind-genera ... bines.html

My friend has great success with the wind turbine on her yacht (although her husband has rather a nasty scar on his head due to a recent incident in a Force 8 :roll: ). However, it's a permanent fixture. I do wonder where a wind turbine could be stored in a Bongo with all the rest of the necessary camping paraphernalia.
