how to reduce water bill
What do I need to know about turning a windmill into useable electricity?
My family recently restored a windmill that was originally used to pump water. The height is 40 feet. The blades are 4 foot each with an 8 foot diameter. The motor was bought by this company: http://www.aermotorwindmill.com/ and that is exactly how it works (in the moving diagram).
Right now the windmill is used for decoration and does nothing other than have the shaft at the bottom of the motor move up and down.
How can I make this work for us and reduce our electric bill? What will it consist of? Approximately how much will the improvements cost in the Bowling Green, Kentucky area do you think?
Big problem. The Aermotor Windmill firm state specifically that they are not interested in generating electricity, so you are on your own. A wind-powered electrical generator is far more difficult to achieve than a pump, because you have the problem of fluctuating wind speeds generating a fluctuating electrical voltage. A proper wind turbine achieves this by varying the angle of the blades, which you cannot do. My advice is to leave the windmill as a decoration.
