Hornet Wind Machines [RE-wrenches]

[Lawrence Elliott]

Nick.
As someone who has been doing wind for 25 years and seen far to many
machines such as this "self destruction demonstration" machine lying in
pieces on the ground my advice would be to take a hint from its name
Hornet and avoid getting stung.
As to the lack of slip rings I would see that as the least of the worrys
since the AWP seems to avoid them without much trouble.
