1. Put a generator on it. 2. Blow on it.

Just to finish that train of thought:

3. Connect a fan to the generator.

4. Aim the fan to blow at the windmill.

Hey, wait a minute... to be certain I have this straight:

1. Put a generator on the windmill.

2. Blow on it.

3. Connect a fan to the generator.

4. Aim the fan to blow at the windmill.

If I have this correct, the fan will blow the windmill, the windmill makes power to spin the fan... You guys are GENIUS! This will run FOREVER!

Hey, we can get very wealthy on this... does anybody else know?

How about you, Guest? It is your idea we started with (well, we sort of ran away with it). Do you want in on the deal, or is there something that I am forgetting?

Just as soon as I get this black stuff off my stash of $5,000 dollar bills I'll buy in.

I just bought exclusive rights to a pumped water generation system that I might let you guys in on, too. This can pump water out of a well and use that to generate electricity.

Easy Street, here we come.

I'm in also.

I wired Haqmed $1200.00 to collect my $850,000.00 EU Lottery.

Haqmed said he is flying into my local airport and will hand deliver my winnings tomorrow.

I will have cash to invest - YEE HAA!!!!!!!!!!

Currant is in many categories with many listings under each, such as:

Plants:
Ribes, genus of berry plants, e.g. blackcurrant, redcurrant
Zante currant, dried Black Corinth grapes; smaller than raisins
Currant tomato, Solanum pimpinellifolium, small tomato species
Currant-tree, Amelanchier canadensis, also called Juneberry or Shadblow Serviceberry
Currant bush, Carissa spinarum also called Conkerberry or Bush Plum
Bush currant, Miconia calvescens, also called velvet tree or miconia
Native currant, Leucopogon parviflorus also called Coast Beard-heath
Mahonia trifoliolata, called Currant-of-Texas or Wild Currant
Animals:
Currant Pug, Eupithecia assimilata, moth of the family Geometridae
Currant Clearwing, Synanthedon tipuliformis, moth of the family Sesiidae
People:
Bunny Currant (1911-2006), British fighter ace
Simon Currant, Tasmanian tourism developer
Places:
Currant, Nevada, settlement near Currant Mountain
Currant Mountain, White Pine Range, Nevada, USA

None of which can be produced by a windmill. Oh, I am sorry, you said current not currant. Then I don't have a clue. I do have a fan. It blows hot air in the summer and cold air in the winter. Does anyone want to invest in this dual air temp fan?

When the blowing wind strikes across the blades of a windmill, it exerts a force on them due to which the blades of the windmill start rotating. This in turn rotates the shaft of the turbine and generates electricity.
