With the recent world crisis, growing day after, with the high levels of air pollution that we all know, it's imperative to save the planet and money. The solution is definitely using green energy. In this article, i will give four simple steps that will permit you build your own windmill. That will help you save money in your pocket, and you will contribute for the life of our planet. Here it is how you can do it:

1. Build the Base
You need first to build a very strong base that will support your windmill. You need to use concrete or a couple of sandbags, it depends on the location of the windmill. If you want to move freely the windmill, then you just need to use the sandbags.

2. Build the Tower
The next step after the base, is the tower. The tower will be attached to the base. You should build the tower using plywood. Plywood is very flexible and strong enough for the task. For maximizing your windmill and get the most of him, you need to build the tower with five feet tall, at least. Remember, when building this tower, check if it's strong enough to hold the height of the windmill.

3. Create the Blades
The third step is to create the blades that you windmill will use. For best performance and energy high gain production, we advise that you buy pre-made blades. They are tested, they are durable, and they will maximize your energy gain. If you cannot afford the pre-made blades, then build your own, and for that use plywood (again, plywood is flexible and strong enough). A very important fact that you need to know is that the blades and tower sizes need to be in direct comparison with each other. One example, if the tower is 5 feet tall, the blades should be between 2 to 3 feet in length. This is needed because the blades should be able to turn freely in order to capture the wind for producing the energy.


4. Build the Gearbox
The last step, but also very important, is the construction of the gearbox. The gearbox is what permits the windmill to capture the energy. You need a shaft to connect the blades with the tower.

That's it folks, you now have your own windmill that will produce energy and will help save money and the environment.
