That is super badass. I wonder if you can get those here. It sure would make a great alternative to the solar power that i plan on having up at my future cabin.

Then again... it probably will not be available, corporations wouldn't want you to be self reliant, then they'd go out of business ::)

Actually looking at the picture, you could probably make something similar with an old bike rim/some baseball cards and duct tape ;D. Red Green would be proud 8)
