There seems to be a wind powered generator, but I don't see any very good shots
of it. Are there more, did I miss it/them?
Is it something else?

There were some pics we posted last week, here's a shot:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=486790
It was made by Mike Gallagher, It's performance was dratically improved betwen
the Clevceland show and this one, only a few days later. I'll ask him to get
some more detailed pics on brickshelf, there are only 2 pics of an earlier
version in his folder now.
It ran perfecly, never stopped, never broke, running on only 1 notch of a speed
regulator, at around 10-15 rpm.

Mike Gallagher (windmill builder) asked me to post this on his behalf:
I just put up some detailed pictures of the Wind Mill
I had at the Lego's Cleveland Road Show and Tuttle
Mall.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=45454
I made some deconstruction photos to show some of the
detail of how it was made, and how I was able to use
the quarter panels for the main support. Witch I
placed a truss up the middle of. The gearbox worked
great for both shows, just minor wear on 2 of the 4
gears. It should have no problem making it through
Daytonís GATS show later this year. The blades just
slide on the main axle and are only held on by its
weight. I then placed a large radar dish over the end
of the axle for the finial touch. The only difference
at this time from the last 2 shows was I had our COLTC
logo on both sides of the outside of the gearbox and
the American flag shop at home is giving out on the
back.
Happy Lego-ing
Mike
