I guess your undeerfloor heating is 230v, either just run it off the
mains (with a Windsave turbine supplying power to said mains) or
take a look at www.navitron.org.uk, they have a 220v 2kW turbine
intended for grid-intertie, which you could use to power the heating
direct, but you'd need to be a bit of a electrics whizz to put it
all together. I'd just stick with the Windsave, and add more
Windsave turbines as funds permit - not so much a wind farm as a
wind garden! Talking of which, check out
http://www.windcrofting.com/ -I'm about to post a message on this
very soon. C:)
