| I am going to home depot in a hour when I get home and I would like to build a wind mill in the back part of my yard for a light and a weather station. I am thinking of using parts from a old ceiling fan. what do you think. I have about a hour. before I go to the store. |

I found many youtube video's regarding the use of the ceiling fan motor for a turbine..and i'm contemplating it myself.

| I think the one I posted will work. I am going to put a light out by the garden and thats it. I would like ot so I could hook up another light when we extend the garden. I plan on putting the weather station on the same tower. so I am looking for some cell phone towers. I plan on making it 15 feet high. any higher it will not look right. |
