power required?

We have one now at our school, but we certainly don't have a 600KW, just a twenty if i remember right.
It's been a long time since I was involved.  I built a website for it, initially for gathering donations to complete it.
Then added a place to display logging data but once the Park Rapids Area Schools took it over its was changed up, made a mess, and not ever totally complete after that. It has now been hacked and is advertising russian brides, and viagra like stuff, I have tried to inform administration, and the school tech guy, with never any luck getting it fixed. 

The site is so infested I'll save everyone the nastiness and not link.

Not in the most ideal location (that sign is in the river bottom) but they get to see it from campus and many places around town so it makes them look "green". All good and I get to watch it loping along at about 30 RPM a lot of the time.

The one down at the docks in Conneaut seems to turn about 20 rpm,
at the max.
Have to pick up two of the Grandkids from school every week day so
we drop by there most every day to check on it.
