Hello & welcome to EM,

25watts is not worth trying for -- you could save more than that by changing out the lightbulbs for LED's. Anything that adds to drag will still be a net loss, because any wind generator is less than 100% efficient. Otherwise, you would have invented a perpetual motion machine -- which we both know is impossible...
