Subject: RE: BS: People moaning about windmills
When I was studying engineering our books had a windmill design like a shuttlecock. It always rotated downwind so it didn't need a vane to bring it into the wind. Never did see one built though.

Thanks Skipjack K8. I hadn't though of the longer day aspect though. I could make good use of a couple of extra hours.
