wind energy for houses

Madhu Vajrakarur, a 23-year-old electrical engineering student from Andhra Pradesh has built a two-in-one wind turbine that can generate electricity and clean drinking water.

“We generate electricity from the windmill for over 200 days of the year. Most other days, we use solar energy for all small appliances... The results are very evident since a house of nine members has brought down their electricity bill from Rs 4,000 to about Rs 1,700 within a few months!”
