Hey, sorry for the slow reply. Just getting back to this channel. You are right about converting this to straight wind power. It wouldn't take much to make it a full on generator. And, the K'nex sets are pretty incredible in what they can accomplish. A 3-D tower matrix can easily hold up a 200+ lb guy. I built several, and was able to step from one to the other, with each occasionally holding my entire weight. It's impressive stuff. We've also experimented with solar powered model houses. I don't remember the brand, but, we spent a ton of time with one that was experiments with insulation, lighting and various other "green" concepts. I enjoy this stuff. I"m hoping my kids inherit some of that interest! All the best!

@@4dhl alots happened in a years time. I solved a critical weight issue and built one of my own. I'll post a link, but KZfaq sometimes bawks at that. The other alternative is to search out my channel. Cheers.
