We all know that the damaging effect caused by the burning of fossil fuels is not a long term answer to providing us with a sustainable energy source.
There are a number of credible alternative green energy alternatives for home electricity that most of us are aware of. One of those is of course, the wind. There's no better alternative than harnessing the natural power of wind to generate electricity for our homes.
So, how do we use the wind to generate power?
By simply building a home windmill to convert the energy from the wind into electricity!
This is very easy to do - in fact, you will probably be pleasantly suprised how easy this actually is. Costs are minimal and most of what you will need is available from any good local hardware store.
This technology will still work regardless of your location in the world!!
What supplies will be required?
Well, here are some of the basic supplies which you will need when building a windmill:
o Metal tubing for the frame of the windmill
o Sheet metal
o 1 X 48 volt battery. Most car batteries are very well suited for home windmills.
o Electrical wiring
o A high quality build guide.
Building a windmill is a very rewarding and enjoyable project and keep in mind the money you will be saving on your utility bill. Many people successfully manage to save anything upto 80% on their electric bill every month!
Also, never overlook the environmental impact that traditional electricity producing methods have on the planet. At least you can be safe in the knowledge that you have at least made the effort and are doing your bit to help!
So, the question is, are you ready to build a windmill generator?
