In 1887, a Scottish academic, Professor James Blyth, undertook wind power experiments that culminated in a UK patent in 1891. In the United States, Charles F. Brush produced electricity using a wind powered machine, starting in the winter of 1887-1888, which powered his home and laboratory until about 1900. In the 1890s, the Danish scientist and inventor Poul la Cour constructed wind turbines to generate electricity, which was then used to produce hydrogen. These were the first of what was to become the modern form of wind turbine.

We present this CD-republication of a complete library of books and plans for constructing windmills to create your own FREE energy, including the original 1901 thesis "Windmill" by Edward Murphy, which was presented to the Cornell of University for PHD degree. Covers the efficient and economic use of windmills for Home use, Farm irrigation and water pumping. Contains 147 pages of black and white photographs and line illustrations, with many charts and graphs showing the results of many windmill experiments.

Chapters include:

:: Introduction

:: Classification of windmills
