Your Very Own Renewable Energy Solution:
Make Your Own Wind Turbine


Wind Power: Cost Easily Outweighted by Benefits

Wow! Your neighbor is building a wind turbine to generate their own electricity, and you are really impressed! But wait -- you may be surprised to learn that building a wind turbine is not actually that difficult, and many people are realizing what a good idea it is to use renewable sources of energy by constructing their own wind electricity generator. If you have the right plans and instructions, and enough motivation, then you can be building your own wind turbines in no time at all.

The key point is the instruction manual (and the plans included in it): if you spend that little extra to buy a good-quality, clear set of instructions with a detailed plan then the extra investment will soon pay off -- a lower-quality cheap manual will leave you frustrated, angry, and demoralized.

A wind turbine normally has four main components that you will have to buy: the propeller, the turbine, the tower structure, and the batteries. You will obviously need tools during the construction, but they will be tools that most DIY enthusiasts will already have: typically you will need a saw, a drill, and a set of wrenches.

Your wind turbine will be very low maintenance -- apart from one part: the motor. This will need some regular maintenance and oil here and there to ensure it stays at peak efficiency, but that is all -- and your wind turbine will amply reward you with plenty of free energy in return for this small regular effort. You should also bear in mind that typical blades on a wind turbine are four feet long, so that the total diameter of the propeller can be eight feet -- so you will need plenty of work space!

Constructing your own wind turbine is obviously going to take some effort, but with a decent good quality set of instructions and good quality parts you will find it easier than you think. The process is not overly complicated, and once the turbine is up and running you will immediately begin to see the returns as your electricity bill goes down every month. You may be lucky and find someone local who can build and install your wind turbine for you, but such people are in greater and greater demand these days as more people turn towards trying wind turbine power themselves.

So you should learn for yourself how to build your own wind turbine -- benefit from knowing that you are supplying your own energy at very little cost, and that you are taking steps towards saving the planet, and you will soon find that, when it comes to wind power, cost of parts and construction are easily outweighed by the benefits of creating electricity!

Wind Generators for the Home - Your Own Energy

It's a matter of Supply versus Demand: the world's demand for energy is increasing, yet the supply of much of the Earth's raw materials that produce that energy is decreasing -- it is certainly a time for concern, and a time to realize that we all need to start taking action before it is too late. We can take action in two ways: we can be conscious of how much energy and water we are using at home, and we can learn how to generate our own electricity using cost-effective methods that are also pollution-free. The two most efficient ways of generating your own electricity are to use solar power or wind power -- or both -- and these methods can be used to replace the electricity supplied to you by the power company.

With solar power and wind generators for your home, there are several worries that are eliminated from your life: when you generate your own power, your electricity bill will be much lower (and sometimes even eliminated entirely), you will be better-placed to withstand power blackouts, and you will also be helping the environment.

Let's look at what you have to think about when you consider switching to wind power. Wind power works best in the following situations:
  • You should ideally have access to a reasonably-sized area of land; an acre or so is a typical size.
  • You really need a reasonably windy location: 11 miles an hour average is good. If the average wind speed is much lower than that then you may not generate enough electricity to make it worthwhile, so make sure the wind speed is high enough.
  • The devices in your home need to rely on an uninterrupted power supply. Fighting power interruptions is a piece of cake with your own wind generator and the associated batteries, and you will not need to be afraid of your power supply suddenly being interrupted and your work having to stop.
A wind generator is usually made up of a hub holding five turbine blades, sitting atop a tower or pole; when the wind blows, the blades turn around the hub, and electricity is made using a dynamo in the hub. The height of the tower supporting the wind generator depends on your local situation: if you live near the coast then the weather tends tends to be fairly windy and so a short tower will suffice; but in a low-wind area you may find that you need a taller tower to catch the winds blowing at higher altitudes. The electricity generated by your wind turbine can be used directly, or it can be stored in a battery for later use -- thus making such a set-up very efficient.

Oh, one thing I should be clear about: you will hear people talking about wind generators, wind turbines, and wind mills; but they are all the same thing when it comes to generating electricity for your home.

Why should you have to pay the electric company when you can make your own electricity? Using a wind generator is cheap, easy, and you know that when a small breeze blows you are saving money and helping the environment. Doesn't that feel good?
