Most of us by now are familiar with the harmfulness and expense of using oil powered energy. In using it we are basically paying to rip apart the ozone layer, which is scary because why would we pay to destroy something that protects us? However, while unfortunate, most people don't build home wind turbines to promote a cleaner greener environment, most people do it because of the cost. This however is understandable and whatever the reason you decide to do it there are many benefits to building your own wind turbine. Not only does it work magic for our environment, but building wind turbines to power your home is a great way to cut costs of high energy bills. With gas prices continuously soaring it's amazing to me that more people haven't begun to look for other options. Perhaps this is because they are lazy, or busy, or scared they cannot afford it but whatever the reason people need to know it's not as complicated as they have been led to believe. So I'm sure you're wondering is it possible to eliminate my electric and gas bill simply by building something. The bottom line, yes it is possible. It's actually fairly simple; it's as simple as buying a book or guide to teach you how to do it and then just doing it. The fact of the matter is you can build a wind turbine that creates enough energy to power virtually all of the things in your home, so stop thinking it's taking you to old time living! You can power everything from your laptop to your washing machine and everything in between with these wind power sources. In fact, one wind turbine is able to produce the equivalent of enough power to run two hundred average American homes. That's a lot of power, and people are skeptical about it without reason. So how do they work? It's simple, wind is a natural reaction yielded when different temperatures on the earth's surface meet. This natural resource can be converted into energy when harnessed, the only question being how to harness it. A wind turbine or windmill has large blades that spin on top of a towering structure. Think of it as a giant pin wheel, the energy is harnessed by the wind forcing these blades to turn. Once the blades are turning consistently, the energy from their movement creates a duct within the tower that leads to a battery pack and from there the battery back contains the energy and disperses it as needed for daily household use. In all actuality, some people have even made money by selling the excess energy to electricity companies and such. Purchasing a wind turbine can be quite costly costing up to ten thousand dollars, which is why most people today are choosing to build their own wind turbines. The best way to go about doing this, assuming most people interested in this invention are not engineers, is to purchase a guide or manual with step by step illustrated instructions as to how the turbine is built. The structure isn't as complex as you may think, and can save you a lot of money in the end.
