Jeff Lander asked:
The incessant use of conventional energy has left the earth's atmosphere polluted. The energy sources which we have employed for generating power since time immemorial have always taken much from us than it have given. There is more than one reason for us to switch over to alternative sources of energy soon.
The coal, natural gas and crude oil, the three of the most used fuel sources today have the common property of being combustible. Thus they tend to emit gasses on combustion, which are poisonous to both human beings and plants alike. The carbon gasses that populate much of the environment today are the emissions from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. These gasses form a layer at the top of our atmosphere preventing reflected heat from the surface of the earth to escape, the effect of which gives rise to the so called global warming.
If the alarm signals given by the rise in the temperatures around the world is not enough to convince us to act, consider the fact that the conventional sources are non renewable and are fast depleting. Certainly, at the current rate of usage the future does not seem too bright, if we were to continue with the conventional energy sources. Before it is too late, we must start seeking alternative sources of energy.
The non conventional sources of energy are those which come with the inherent advantage of being renewable. Further, they are eco friendly and thus give every reason for us to consider them.
The solar, windmill and hydro electric power are among the most considered and used alternative sources of power. Of those the hydro electric power is expensive and may not be suitable for all geographic locations. The solar power cells are also expensive. The cheapest, easiest and most effective alternative source of energy would be windmill power generation.
The interesting and the inviting prospect about the windmill power generation, is the ease with which it could be generated at home!
Why would you want to build a windmill at home?
Apart from the basic advantages that are accrued from using a non conventional windmill power generator, the domestic windmill generator comes with additional advantages.
The commercial windmills could cost as much as a 1000$, while the domestic windmills could be set up at a few hundred bucks, requiring almost maintenance cost.
The amount of money that could be saved by building a domestic windmill is very lucrative.
The windmills are further very easy to build with a manual or some technical help.
They will take very less space compared to other power sources.
A wind mill can act as a secondary source of power during long power outages.
