Part of Instructables' mission is to inspire our community to create and share great projects. We do this though contests, theme months, and challenges that are seasonally appropriate, part of a bigger cultural trend, or simply areas where we want to see more great Instructables. This year we've decided that our overarching theme will be "Green."

Volume 2 of the Build a Greener Life podcast series focuses on Instructables community member mdavis19, whose off-the-shelf-parts wind turbine showcases exactly the kind of DIY green ingenuity we love to inspire and share at Instructables.

I built a turbine like this, only because I was fascinated by the idea of cheap electricity. I used 4 inch PVC pipe for the blades. Since the profile is different, I decided to use 5 blades instead of 3. Seemed to work great. But in the end, though, the joke was on me: No wind where I live. It stands outside as a testament to ingenuity...in the wrong place.

This is pretty neat, I'd like to see more stuff like this. I would love to see what the guys who made the car with the gasification plant on the back have to say about their project.
