Just to be awkward, are they transformers or "switch mode power supplies" I don't know if it makes any difference or not.  :-\

Most of them are switched mode these days, which makes them much more efficient when they don't have any load.

I would love a windfarm in my back garden. I think I'm the only person in Britain who would, mind, everywhere round here is littered with people campaigning against them.

I grant you, I could maybe fit one tower in, but that's good enough!

With the bonus that you could then run a combine cycle gas turbine on the methane and double the output. :y
