William's initial windmill was successful, but it was not perfect. When there was no wind, for example, the electricity stopped, and so William began to look for a battery. To earn money to purchase one, William began to use his windmill for other purposes, like charging the neighborhood's phones for a price. Phones, however, needed more voltage than a lightbulb, so he had to build a transformer to increase the voltage. This worked well, and soon the people of the neighborhood came to his windmill to charge their phones.
