Building to it Yourself Wind Power Windmills
A wind power system works in ways that not many people truly understand; a fan composed of blades is placed on top of a tall tower or on your home’s roof. This fan is said to collect kinetic energy and then later on turns it into electricity that you can make use of in your home.
The fan of the windmill is supposed to be connected to a particular shaft that is attached to one generator; if the blades of the fan are able to spin really fast, the generator will now be able to create electricity. However, if the wind in the surroundings is high or if there is a storm approaching, you do not need to worry because this windmill has its own breaks that will prevent it from spinning too fast; the breaks will definitely prevent you from causing damage to your generator.
Creating your own wind power windmill will really be a good thing for you not only because you will have the chance to get a hold of electricity that is produced in your home, but also because you will be able to save tons of money. It has been found out that if you have your own windmill in your home, you will be able to lower the electricity bill by about 50 up to 90 percent. It would really be a big help for you to realize that you only need to pay 8 to 15 dollars for your electricity bill for a certain number of months.
If you are wondering about the total amount of electricity that you need to produce, most of the homes need up to 9,400 kilowatts per hour in a single year; that will be about 780 kilowatts in a single month. To make sure that you are going to have sufficient electricity for your various needs, you can set a quota of 25 up to 30 kWh in a single day.
The good thing about creating your own windmill for your home is that you will not only save tons of money, but you will also be able to help in preserving our environment. Unlike all the other sources of energy, this one does not produce your electricity by adding pollution in the environment. As a matter of fact, it has been said that using this will help you in preventing up to 1.2 tons of air pollutants from being released into the environment.
The most important information to know about creating your own windmill is that you will be able to save a lot of money when compared to purchasing one that has already been built. When you buy a windmill that has already been assembled, you need to cash out 6 up to 22 thousand dollars; as compared to when you build one on your own home, you only need to have a budget of 150 dollars. Who would not want to spend this much money for having the benefit of using their own electricity in their own home?

QUESTION:
Wind power?
I had a thought and wonder if this would work. If you had an 8 inch pipe and it funneled to a 1/2 pipe would it produse more enegry than the average wind mills. I know I am reaching here but it is basically how a jet engine works.any tips or suggestions?
-
ANSWER:
Yes, the velocity of the air would increase, no doubt about that!However, along with that velocity increase comes a proportional decrease in the cross-sectional area (8" down to 1/2"), and therefore the net result would be the same amount of "work energy", minus the losses due to turbulence and friction in the process of narrowing down the air stream.
But keep on trying - you never know, you might hit on a great idea that will save the world!
