making more out of Google, part 2

Yesterday, I wrote about a few things on Google that you may or may not have already known about it.
Today, I want to share something that really rocks; well, in my opinion.
What is it?
It's called Google Sketch-up and Google 3D Warehouse. It's a program that is free unless you pay a lot of extra money for a pro version.
Basically the computer program allows you to draw up three dimensional models of almost anything. And you can also search through other people's models as well.
I like to build things and so this program really appealed to me. I haven't played around with it yet. I've been meaning to but I run out of time at home.
I was searching through it today and I searched for "turbines"
A bunch of 3d models of turbines of all types popped up on the screen. You can click on the model you want to see. It's pretty cool because some of them you can move around. You can zoom in or out to get a closer look at the models. Turbines are my thing right now, but you can search through just about anything and you can create things.
Personally, I think I might build my own version of a library. Ha, ha, ha.
