Show Lakeside Review, Wednesday, Dec. 2, 1981 3A Windmill Is Unusual Type By MAGOI HOLMES Some of the power can be used for house lighting when the power goes off, Williams said. This type of power is different from ordinary electric power because it does not need a ground, Williams said. He has placed electric coils under his kitchen floor that warm the floor on chilly evenings. He said that it would not be possible for people without a windmill to do this because as soon as the floor got wet it would transmit electric shock with ordinary power. The mill took two years to construct and cost about $3,000. It was worth it, said Williams. He said it had been fun. The mill stands on the family cellar. It keeps the snow off the door, Williams said. The top of the mill will only spin at 8 rpms, Williams said. Most windmills spin at 600 rpms. Converting that slow speed into usable energy has created a problem, he said. The windmill turns three generators, Williams said. One small one creates lighting for the Williams house, one heats water and the other one, which is a large one, was placed on the mill just to slow it down. The large generator has never been used but is meant to prevent the windmill from destroying itself. To keep the wind from ripping the mill out of its foundation, it has been anchored with seven yards of concrete and is supported by steel pipe. The mill is not very tall; it stands only about two stories high. It catches the ground wind, Williams said, so it does not need to be tall. Review Staff STRUCTURE will hopefully keep on producing enough power to take the chill off owner Dennis Williams home and shop. Williams designed and built the unique windmill in South Weber. THIS STRANGE SOUTH WEBER Dozens of motorists from all over the nation have pulled off the road and stared at the oddly constructed windmill that spins on the north side of South Weber. The owner of the mill, Dennis Williams, 1520 E. Canyon Dr., said he watched a highway patrolman run four motorists off one day. The motorists had stopped along Highway 84 to take a longer view of the mill, he said. The windmill is unique because it has a horizontal spin and blades instead of the ordinary vertical ones. Williams designed the mill about 10 years ago when he realized there was a need for a mill that could withstand the more winds that whip out of than Weber canyon. Several ordinary mills have been torn apart by the strong winds in the area just a few blocks down from where Williams lives. This mill is not precision balanced like other mills have to be to work effectively. In fact, it works on a theory of unbalance, Williams said. Large fiberglass panels flap from a single vertical hinge. Swinging in the breezes, these flaps catch the wind and spin the windmill. The flaps are constructed to flip through the metal frame rather than break if the winds get too strong, Williams said. The mill will produce 250 volts of power, he said. Storage of the power was a problem which Williams solved by using it to heat water. The water is used to heat his shop. am ul "Touch It" Electric Coffee Mill KRUPS 2 SMALL APPLIANCES ON SAVE oz.
