You’ve decided to build a wind generator and now you need how to instructions. It is a great idea to build your own instead of buy one as this is not a particularly difficult project. As an example, a 1000 watt wind generator brand new costs in excess of $3000, but by building your own you can cut that cost down to under $150.
We often wonder why companies charge so much when the parts are so readily available?
What do you need to get started?
You will need some shop space, basement or even your garage to work.
Detailed plans on how to build a wind generator.
Simple tools found in every home workshop
The best place to start is to order a DC motor which is used as a power generator for your system. That is what produces the power as the blades turn. They are easily obtained for about $30 from the sources listed in the plans.
The best part is that they can be shipped directly to your door, with no hassles. While you wait the couple days for it to arrive you can get busy learning how to build a wind generator and finding a tower. Used TV towers work great for this purpose.
Watch this short video showing you how.
Building the blades is what people always think is the hard part, but it really isn’t that difficult, if you follow the simple designs in the plans. For the 1000 watt machine that we recommend to produce power for your home you will need wooden blades.
They can be fashioned in about a day.
If you are building a smaller machine you can use PVC blades that are easy to make too.
The body and tail can be made from recycled metals and painted any color you think looks good.
When your DC motor arrives you simply put it all together as outlined in the plans.
Try to imagine the first time the blades start turning on your wind generator producing free electricity for your home. It is quite a feeling.
Did you know that electricity rates on the grid are expected to double in the next 2 years? Isn’t it time you started your own project to build a wind generator?
Start with our 4 step plan, it is simple and easy to follow.
This is a great way to begin producing free electricity for your home with an easily built wind generator, after building several now for ourselves and friends we are sure that anyone can build a wind generator.
