Bicycle wheels for windmills

This is a bit of a diversion again, but could be a cheap way to supplement power off-grid using bike wheels. I got this off the icebike email list. 
The quality way to do this is to use a Shimano dynamo hub on an old beat up rim and just step the power up to 12v. This appealed to me being a cyclist. It would be great to find ways to recycle old bike parts. It would add more outer space landing look to your earthship.
