Arguably one of the most important steps when building a wind generator using PVC blades is balancing them. If you don't balance the blades your wind generator will 'wobble' and can cause serious damage to it or you (if a blade breaks). Balancing PVC wind generator blades is easy so let's get at it.

First, let's get all of the tools you're going to need in this step.

What You'll Need

• Wet Erase Marker
• Pen & Paper
• Blades mounted on the hub with an arbor
• The body of the wind generator which you started in the previous step
• Some cutting pliers
• Sandpaper
• Touch up paint
