How to Build a Wind Turbine (with Pictures)

Choose between pre-made or DIY wind turbine blades. The kind of blades you use and configuration of your blades may affect the design of your turbine. Old farm windmills were basically small sails attached to a rotating shaft, but wind turbines resemble giant propellers and have large teardrop-shaped blades.

Sweden''s Markbydgen Wind Farm is Europe''s largest individual wind farm and the second-largest in the entire world, providing 2 GW of wind power capacity (enough to power almost 1.5 million UK homes). Markbyden is spread over approximately 173sq miles, which is larger than the entire landscape of Stockholm city.

Kenly Wind Farm

St Andrews has been trying to work with the MOD on the conditions needed to build Kenly wind farm for eight years. The wind farm would save 7,500 tonnes of carbon per year. It would secure energy pricing into the future, freeing up funding for world-class teaching and research for a sector already hard-hit by the covid pandemic.

My wind turbine journey: How it started & how it is going

My wind turbine journey began when I was around 13 years old. I had a teacher back then who showed me a little book about home made wind turbines. This book explained how a wind turbine can be built using old car parts and scrapyard material. I''ve always been very interested in technical and handcrafted things, even at a young age.
