wind powered generator

To begin with , i always liked to see windmills and stuff that works with the wind and so i tried to make something on my own . In the begining I just made a small wind turbine with no other purpose but to spin freely . Then I thought why not making something that can use the wind energy and convert it to electricity , so I ended up making a wind powered generator .... 

After some research on the internet i found a lot of ideas to start and since it was summer i had plenty of time to spend on it . 

Step 1 The tools and the pieces your are going to need

THE TOOLS  : well basicly you are going to need a lot of tools and propably as you go on will find out that they are not enough . 

- a saw 
- a mechanical saw 
- a drill 
- various drill bits
- a fretsaw
- sand paper 
- a file 
. . . 

THE PIECES: you can change most of them to suit your needs (not paintjob or inner frame material here)

- a pvc pipe   (10 atmospheres will work best ) the diameter of the pipe depends on the      diameter of the rotor and blades and also the number of the blades . 

- a smaller pipe for the tail that make the wind generator face the wind 
- fitings to reduce the the diameter of the main pipe to the tail pipe 
- plexiglass for the tail 
- a circullar disk from a durable material for the rotor 
- screws and bolts 
- metal and elastic washers 
- a very durable screw for the base yaw mechanism 
- a small metal wheel with a punched bearing inside 

>These are the basic tools and materials and tools you are going to need ( and lots of patience... )
