How you can make a windmill?

Answer 1

One way is to cut a piece of construction paper, staple equal-sized streamers on one side in a row ( ten is a good amount), then form a circle with the paper and staple it. Make at least 3 (6 would be better), equally spaced holes, with a hole-punch. Attach a string to each hole, tie a knot in all the strings at once, so that all the strings are equal in length and attach it to a pole (the taller, the better).

Answer 2

A windmill is usually made with wood, and is located in a windy place. It has 4 large blades on the outside that spin around in the wind, (and using a series of connecting gears), mill or grind, grain on the inside of the structure. Some windmills, found in the western USA dessert, have many small blades that spin around in the wind and drill for water, deep underground. Building a windmill that mills grains, or drills for water is somewhat easy and only needs a lot of material to construct the structure. They have been around for hundreds of years. There are many books on how to build a windmill.

A wind turbine that turns wind into electricity, requires a lot more expertise, and should not be done except by trained people. There are do it yourself kits for building a backyard wind turbine.
