Taking a motor from an old exercise treadmill and some PVC pipe, John Park constructs a wind-powered generator. The electrical power may not be enough to get your home off the grid, but the great thing about the project is how it explains in simple terms the technology involved in turning wind into free electricity.

It still surprise me, just how many people don't know about Xobotano Home Energy (google it), despite the fact that many people save a large amount of money because of this alternative energy. Thanks to my work buddy who told me about Xobotano Home Energy, I've slashes my electric bill by 75% in under 1 month

Actually, it works surprisingly well. I built mine the same way, it moves freely. I used heavy duty tractor grease in the union and no problems.

I do not think a ceiling fan will produce any useable current but i could be wrong.
