Gratuitously, I am reminded of first hearing of yurts on a Bob and Ray radio show in about 1957. They had a prolonged discussion on the merits of various yurt carts (what you carry a yurt on) without any mention as to what a yurt was. That led to my dictionary search for the answer.
In keeping with "you can find most anything on Google", http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:6rV-THnROvQJ:csf.colorado.edu/archive/2 001/energy/msg01384.html+yurt+cart+%22Bob+and+Ray%22&hl=en has "Eric, To see a modern version goto www.yurt.com Maybe I got lucky and just the display is knocked out. Yeah, right. EMP is interesting. I just hate to learn about new subjects with this type of show and tell method.

My girlfriend wants to build a yurt so we will be anxiously monitoring your site/progress. Back in the mid '80s i designed/sold /installed microhydro systems for a living. Completed 8 systems in the New England area then went out of business. My site here in Orford,NH has a 1 kw, 4 kw, and 16kw turbo/generator sets. If you want or need a second opinion or just want to do a site visit let me know. I'm guessing your local solar guy is Richard Gottlieb from Sunnyside Solar.......he's an old friend and great all around guy..............Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: ciber_chris_c To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 9:22 AM Subject: [microhydro] Microhydro in Vermont, USA Hi, we are building an alternative (well, to some of you this may not be alternative at all) home in Vermont and intend to go with an off- grid power system. Solar with backup generator had been our plan but we've discovered a strong water source uphill from our building site. Our intended solar system vendor doesn't seem interested in working with microhydro. Anyone know of a vendor/dealer/designer in Vermont, New Hampshire, NE New York or Massachusetts? We can install but would prefer to works with someone on design, so we don't make rookie mistakes.
