If you are thinking of saving money on electricity bills you might want to try to build a windmill. It creates solar energy for your home so you don’t have to use as much electricity. First you’ll want to buy instructions to see if you can even build one. These can be found online or maybe even the library.

You’ll want a windmill that is tall enough that it can be free of any obstructions so that it have the most amount of wind on it as possible. Also you will need wind blades that will move easily through the wind, one with the least amount of resistance. Your property should also be at least one acre and the place you live at should have at least 11 miles per hour of wind there all the time. You can build a windmill for two hundred or less.

The materials you’ll need to build a windmill are a DC motor, batteries, towers, and hub. First construct a windmill base. It must be strong and heavy. Concrete and sandbags are good materials for the base. Next comes the tower. It can be made out of PVC pipes or something similar to it. After that comes the wind blades. It captures the wind energy for the windmill. It can be made out of light weight plastic or wood. You can use a shaft to connect the blades to the tower. This will make the blades move. But before you do all this you should ask someone who know what they are doing to help you in the construction and you should look at instruction books.

So if you have decided this is the way to go then do your research and you’ll be on your way to saving money and making your home an energy saver.
