Ok, so im in a go green camo and we just got mini solar panels to take home (about the size of an itouch) i know i cant make those at home but i was wondering if i could make a windmill at home. Not a big one, just a small one (i wouldnt use it to power anything just for fun to try this out.) but how do i make one and hwo do i hook up the wires?

Wow! Your heart is in the right place and your windmill might be in the right place too, but they are very tricky to build. Balance must be perfect or nearly so. Most people buy the windmills or wind turbines and still have trouble setting them up just right. If you want it just for fun, you might get away with one of the short windmills sold for decoration.I trust that you can find wiring diagrams online. I think that I have seen them in books.
See if your library has this book:

In a normal residential application, a home is served simultaneously by the wind turbine and a local utility. If the wind speeds are below cut-in speed (7-10 mph) there will be no output from the turbine and all of the needed power is purchased from the utility. As wind speeds increase, turbine output increases and the amount of power purchased from the utility is proportionately decreased. When the turbine produces more power than the house needs, the extra electricity is sold to the utility. All of this is done automatically. There are no batteries in a modern residential wind system. Homes use approximately 9,400 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per year (about 780 kWh per month). Depending upon the average wind speed in the area, a wind turbine rated in the range of 5 to 15 kilowatts would be required to make a significant contribution to meet this demand.
eat beans and vegtables, you can make lots of wind that way.
The cost of wind turbines at home are so expensive you can’t afford them.
there is actually a program that you should look at it answer’s all your questions and will give you supplies for pretty cheap. Take a look.
