Taking a motor from an old exercise treadmill and some PVC pipe, John Park constructs a wind-powered generator. The electrical power may not be enough to get your home off the grid, but the great thing about the project is how it explains in simple terms the technology involved in turning wind into free electricity.

    If you have the tools to drill the holes into the flywheel. . . why not use the mounts you get from old cieling fan blades. I’m actually looking into doing something like that. The Bridge Rectifier is brilliant. . . one of my hold ups was how to use any motor as a generator rather than having to buy an alternator or something else like that. Thanks for the great vid. . . this is very useful.
