The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

The simplest wind turbine ever?

Would it be possible to just put a regular fan outside in the wind to generate electricity? The blades would spin, turning the motor, creating electricity that would flow out of the plug, wouldn’t it?
And…if I were to build a wind turbine, would it be best to use a car alternator? Someone said a washing machine motor works well. But wouldn’t that be the same as the fan motor that WOULDN’T work?
