Have you ever thought about building a wind turbine? Well to be honest it’s quite hard to explain in print but I’ll do my best to give you a brief outline on what may be required. Building the wind turbine in not necessarily as hard as you may think. They equipment that you need to acquire is not difficult to source at all and the construction phase too is not lengthy.

Some of the materials that you may require are PVC sheets or Plywood, copper or magnetic wire, LED, eye screws, washers, 1/4 inch square dowel, glue and disk magnets. The tools require to build a wind turbine are simply a compass, screwdriver, glue gun, pencil and paper, tape measure, voltmeter and a tape measure.
