When and Where: April 14-15, Brownstown, Indiana
Instructors: Dan Bartmann and Dan Fink

Wind turbines need smooth, fast-moving air to live up to their potential. The only place to find that is high in the air, up on a tall tower. But towers are extremely complicated to fabricate, and dangerous to erect, especially if you've never had hands-on experience.

This intensive multi-day hands-on class covers tower types, the theory of tower design, tower foundation design and engineering, rigging, wind turbine installation and balance of system, and culminates with raising and lowering a wind turbine on a tilt-up tower.

Agenda:

• Lower 93 foot tower with 12 foot diameter wind turbine;
  
• Inspect and maintain turbine;
  
• Install wind data acquisition system;
  
• Raise tower and turbine;
  
• The class will be about 1/4 lecture, 3/4 hands-on.
