7. This is where the drive for the second small wind wheel will be. You 
will need a small sprocket wheel (9) as well as a small (8) and medium 
(7) gear wheel. 

9. Now it’s time to build the support structure for the large wind 
wheel. First, attach two more long frames (2) to the base plates.

10. Lengthen the support structure with two long frames (2). Then 
mount the holder (22) with solar module (23) on the base plate below, 
and hook up the cables (20/21). 

8. Construct another small wind wheel with two short rods (4) and four 
anchor pins (26), and secure it to the axle with a medium gear wheel 
(7). 

11. Up top, through the center hole of the two frames, insert a long 
axle shaft (16) with two small gear wheels (8), plus a medium sprocket 
wheel (10) on the outside.
