If we could harness all the wind in the world, we would have more than 10 times the amount of energy we need for the entire globe. Of course, harnessing it is the problem. You need an average wind speed of at least 8 mph or you’re chancing wasting your time. Just because the cost of wind power has gone down to an insane degree, doesn’t mean the basic principles of a windmill changed. You still won’t get a sufficient amount of energy with less annual wind speed than 8 mph. But because of our own doing, we have turned our planet into a microwave that is melting itself. Wind power we initially used in windmills and turbines that convert the energy used to make electricity available to areas that commercial energy contributors have not reached. Towers can be erected to gather kinetic energy that can later be redistributed as electricity to homes. There are residential wind turbines that could help homeowners with the right property space and the budget lowers their energy costs. Having your own tower can initially be a bother but since they don’t make that much noise and do not interfere with television reception, then it shouldn’t be that much of a problem. These turbines have smaller blade diameters and towers, and can be used to decrease or possibly even eliminate the electric bills of homeowners. Many people are worried that a small wind turbine may still produce too much noise. However, the good news is that they actually aren’t very loud. We will primarily discuss the small size but all three have some similarities.-Large: commercial grade Wind Turbines -Medium: Windmill -Small: Long Fan bladeHow do wind power systems work?A fan blade system is installed on top of a tower or on the roof of your home and collects kinetic energy and converts it to electricity to be used by your home. The fan blades are connected to a shaft that is connected to a generator.
