I am a retired mechanical engineer and over the past 20 years or so I have been building a wind turbine.
The machine is more than 90 per cent complete, but owing to my age and lack of resources it is unlikely to be finished. So I am hoping to find a young graduate mechanical engineer who would be interested in completing the project.
I propose to give the machine to anyone who is interested and who I think would be competent.
The machine is a horizontal axis, two-bladed design,12ft diameter swept disc, with 24ft tall tower.
I would welcome your suggestions to achieve a satisfactory ‘handover’.

Oxa named autonomy provider for SAMS project
I saw this kind of system working in Holland well over a decade ago. It seemed to work well. Best of luck for the project.
