About Us
Otherpower.com and Wondermagnet.com are owned by ForceField--a small business, run completely out of our homes. Our business and shipping office is in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA. It is usually staffed Monday thru Friday, 9-4 Mountain Time, and is a very busy place! Some of our staff live and work in a very remote area west of town, high up in the mountains. They are connected to the office thru the miracle of Starband and Direcway 2-way satellite internet service.
Our office staff in town can explain to you over the phone all you'd ever need to know and more about our magnets, books, and experimental science products. They can take phone orders, resolve any problems with your order, and find your package even if the shipping service accidentally got lost and delivered it to Timbuktu. However, they cannot answer questions about sizing, designing and installing Renewable Energy systems, building wind turbines or other components, etc. We can ONLY answer that kind of question via email, since there are no telephone or power lines up here on the mountain. If you want to place an order, have questions regarding your order, or need information about our products, either Email our office or call us during business hours at (toll free) (877)944-6247 or (970)484-7257. Our mailing address is 2606 W Vine Dr, Fort Collins, CO 80521.
If you have questions regarding home-built wind turbines or any of the pages on our website, you can Email DanB and DanF HERE. Please note our email guidelines (from the Otherpower.com front page) : PLEASE be aware that we receive many more Email requests for free information and advice than we can possibly respond to and still run our business...they come in twice as fast as we can reply. For quicker advice and opinions alternative energy questions from experimenters worldwide, try posting your question to the Otherpower Discussion Board. Please research your question by searching our discussion board and Google before posting or emailing us. If you do Email us, make sure your email has a good subject line -- if the subject is 'blank', says 'hello' or 'how are you' it will never be read - many viruses and spam contain these headers. Please keep your questions specific regarding topics we've written about. If you ask 'how do I build a windmill?' or 'how big a system do I need to run my house?' you probably won't get a reply...please do your homework first. If you ask us 'on your Gerbil-powered generator page, how many turns are in each coil and what direction are they wound' we will almost certainly reply promptly. If we dont, please email again and remind us. THANKS for being considerate!
