When you choose windmills for electricity to run your home it is a very positive step towards energy independence. Aren’t you tired of paying that electric bill in the hundreds of dollars each month that just keeps going up?
Using windmills for electricity is one of the best options for you to choose, and learning how to build a wind generator of your own is the fastest and least expensive way to get started.
What will you need to know?
- Do you have a good location for windmills?
- Detailed plans for using windmills for electricity.
- A workshop with simple tools everyone owns.
Of course you can purchase a wind generator but at a cost of thousands of dollars compared to only about $150 to build one why would you want to?
Let’s start off with your location. You will need to have a place on your property that is 15 feet above any obstruction within 300 feet. For most people that means a wind generator tower. We would recommend using a TV tower that can be obtained from almost anywhere at no cost.
People are switching to satellite TV and the towers are sitting around unused. They work great too- easy to manage and strong.
If you are new to the subject of windmills for electricity just go to our-
The basics are quite simple- blades, body, turbine and tail, along with the tower I explained earlier.
The center of your project is a DC motor used as a turbine.
It is easily obtained for about $30 from the source listed in the plans. It costs about $150, as we mentioned earlier to build a wind generator of your own and takes about 4 days of work.
That is a substantial savings over the $3200 we recently priced a 1000w wind turbine at. Why are they so expensive anyways?
Learning how to build your own is definitely the way to go- material and plans are easy to find. It’s not complicated either.
Isn’t it time you got started using windmills for electricity too?

Several of our neighbors and friends as well as hundreds of others have already completed their own project of building a wind
generator and using windmills for electricity.
