As pollution levels rise at an alarming level, people are becoming aware of the fact that they can play a role in protecting our environment by using different forms of energy.  Traditionally, people have accepted the energy sources that have been supplied by large companies but they are coming to see that they can generate their own energy through alternative energy sources using Building Fasteners such as Heavy Hex Screws, Heavy Hex Bolts or Tek Screws.
Wind power is one of the energy sources that is obtainable and usable by anyone from governments to individual families.  It is easy to harness and is a very efficient energy source.  Considering how much of our planet it can save, setting up a wind generator to build up a clean energy source requires a minimal investment.  Once it is set up it can generate energy for a long time without any additional costs required.
Wind generators are becoming especially popular among families and individuals that wish to use a cleaner source of energy.  They can be installed on private property and can power household appliances.  With some research and with the right tools and equipment, a family can build a wind turbine that can provide them with a renewable source of energy that will not only contribute towards saving the planet, but will also help them cut down on bills.
Your local hardware store will likely carry most of the supplies that you need to build a wind generator but you should make sure that the tools you choose are of the best quality.  The strength of the materials will ensure that the generator is strong and sturdy and can handle strong winds.  Nuts and bolts, cables, and other materials must be strong to secure the generator in the toughest of conditions.  Although they are small, the nuts and bolts might be the most important materials that you choose because they are what holds everything together.
Once you have all of your materials you need to put them all together.  It is not a complicated process and, with the right manual and guidelines, anyone can do it.  You can have a wind turbine up and running over a weekend.
One thing you must remember is that there are local laws that might affect where you put your wind turbine.  Check with your local authorities before you begin construction.  Ask about regulations and rules that may pertain to installing domestic wind generators.  Rules and regulations are likely to differ somewhat from place to place.
Once you make the decision to build a wind generator to help the environment and to save money for your family, you will find that it can be done very quickly.  Materials and tools are easy to find and, as long as you choose materials that are strong, you should not have a problem.  Putting it together is simple for anyone that has experience in building things and your family can benefit from your new generator in a short period of time.  The best part is that the benefits of a wind generator can be seen for a much longer period of time!

Started my career in the fastener world in 1969 at, Parker Kalon Corp. a NJ based screw manufacturer located in Clifton, NJ working in inventory control, scheduling secondary production and concluding there in purchasing. In 1971 I accepted a sales position at Star Stainless Screw Co., Totowa, NJ working in inside sales and later as an outside salesman, having a successful career at Star I had the desire with a friend to start our own fastener distribution company in 1980 named: Divspec, Kenilworth, NJ. This was a successful adventure but ended in 1985 with me starting Melfast in August 1985 and have stayed competitive and successful to date. Melfast serves the OEM market with approximately 400 accounts nationally.
