Windmill Generators are back with cutting edge technology

Funny how the idea of building your own wind generator for power has come around again!
Let’s face it a windmill is NOT new technology – it’s how we use it that’s slightly different. In ‘days of old’ we would use the power of the wind to turn sails for direct power, that is to grind cereals or for a belt drive to power simple machinery
Then, the wind and the power of running water was about all we could harness from natural resources. Then we built the steam engine, fueled by coal and the old technology was put aside for the advanced technology
Fast forward to the present day and we are building wind generators again! Why? Because we discovered that burning tons of fossil fuels such as coal and gas creates millions of tons of excess carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. All of sudden, the wind generator is good news!
Can we make more use of our natural resources such as wind? Between the passage of time and the development of humanity we are slowly beginning to realize how vital our world is. The benefits of wind power needs to be seen in a broad context
The beauty of a wind generator is that it creates ZERO emissions, even taking account of the materials used and any maintenance over 50 years, it is still almost carbon neutral. Just look at what it can do! Produce 1,000s of Watts of electricity over it’s lifetime – all for free
We all love free and even the knowledge to build a suitable domestic wind generator and the materials involved won’t break the bank. Better still, the payback (the return of money saved versus money spent) is very fast and so you reap the benefits very quickly
