I found this fascinating and I recommend it. Videos from a program about those crazy Americans with their bomb shelters:
I recognized several of the shelters from the book “Waiting For The World To End” by R. Ross. Some very nice shelters in the videos including everyones dream home: the converted missle silo. An interestingthing, and something that surprised me given the apparant UK origination of the show, was that there were no scense of shelter owners displaying their firearms. You couuld see ammo, ammo cans and a rifle in some of the backgrounds but not nearly what Id expect from liberal weenies like the Brits.
More links: shout out to merccom over at LiveJournal for the links to DIY wind turbines:
I would imagine that simply replacing the blades with a chain and sprocket assembly would be all thats needed to build a bicycle generator instead. Good stuff.
usually
the most successful systems are those built by those whom use them. such systems are owner built to include accessable means of maintaince and repair. parts are generally those that can be universally purchased or salvaged from other appliances. have utilized microwave ovens as a source for coil wire and magnets, along with bicycle hubs for bearing, and computor power supplies for salvagable parts like diodes. have fun building your version, Wildflower 07
