This is interesting, Wind farm construction out in Illinois is being halted, because the giant turbines might interfere with military radar – some folks don’t care for Wind Farms either, it can spoil their view of the ocean – [via] Link.

In MAKE we show you how to make a Wind Powered Generator – With a motor and some piping, it’s suprisingly easy to build this inexpensive, efficient windmill generator. MAKE 05Page 90. If you make one and/or have access to wind farms and military radar, could you drop us a note and let us know what could be going on?
