Do It Yourself Wind Generator is Easy

Do It Yourself Wind Generator is Easy


Start to build a wind generator by yourself can seem very complicated, but is a very rewarding experience. The main reasons for building your own wind generator was because buying one was simple too expensive. A little DIY would save us thousands of dollars and help us save a ton of power and money in the future.

Once we decided to start installing a wind generator, it turned into something that was quite enjoyable. Despite all that complicated looking finished product is actually quite a simple east to build wind generator.

Learning How to Build a Wind Generator

Learning How to Build a Wind Generator

For those individuals searching for methods to prevent paying cash to a utility organization forever, learning how to build a wind generator is the very best choice you can make. Not only is there the possibility of becoming totally independent, but when the world is suffering from the emissions of coal and gas powered plants, a renewable power energy source is really the best step to creating a greener planet.

Why wind power? Well, it's totally free and obtainable to more than 90 per cent of the USA - unless tall buildings and geographical functions prevent access to a steady breeze. Learning how to build a wind generator is fairly basic and also the price is really much less than a lot of individuals believe.

Build a Wind Generator - How to Make Your Own

Build a Wind Generator - How to Make Your Own

We figured learning how to build a wind generator was our best option to make power for our off grid home.

We found some great wind generator plans too.

Our choice was a hard one. We could either diversify our Renewable Energy System, a choice between hydro power from our small stream or put up a wind generator. We also had the option to just buy more solar panels. We decided to learn how to build a wind generator and here is why - You may want to build your own too.

There are times of the year when even a hundred solar panels and 10 times our present battery storage would not run our home. In the fall and winter the sun may not shine for weeks at a time.

Thus, no power is produced from the solar panels, no matter how many we would have. We really wanted to smooth out the wrinkles in our charging cycle as well as produce more power for our home, that meant adding more solar panels just wouldn't work for us.

Hydro power is probably the most cost effective option if you have enough running water with an adequate drop to produce power. Water power will produce 24/7, but we had a problem with this option. From November until April our stream freezes solid and in order to produce power we need running water. Unless we could figure out a way to run ice through the hydro turbine that is.

That left us with the wind generator option. A quick assessment of our site told us we had wind energy potential. Open space and a site that was free of obstructions for over 300 yards. We would only need a 40 foot tower to get up to the good wind.

So, we started shopping for a wind generator. The wind definitely went out of our sales, so to speak, when we started looking at the price of new and used wind turbines.

During our search for a wind power turbine a friend of ours suggested why not build one. He had done just that recently with some plans he had downloaded from a website called Homemade Wind Generator. We took a look at the nice job he had done on his wind generator and decided to download our own plans.

We learned how to build a wind generator that cost us less than $100, including the small cost of the plans (still under $20), but compared to the price in the thousands for a new or used wind generator to meet our needs it was a real bargain. The plans were simple and easy to follow and provided sources for all of the material we would need. Isn't it time you built your own.

Once we knew where to look, the DC motor used for a generator was quickly located, as well as the free PVC pipe we used for the blades. Our family is quite happy learning how to build it and It produces about 1000 watts of power at 24 volts. We have plans to build a wind generator for the front yard next.
