Go Green-Power Easy

Finding the right plans to learn how to build wind generators was probably the hardest part of the whole project. It took us months to locate reliable plans to build both small and large wind generators.

For our first one, and probably yours too, we didnâ??t want to build a great big home wind power machine. We wanted the project to be manageable. Of course it wouldnâ??t produce as much power as we wanted but we figured we could build a larger one later (and we did).

Letâ??s get started- what will you need?

1. Detailed plans on how to build wind generators
2. A shop or garage big enough to work in
3. Simple tools- wrenches, saws, screwdrivers etc.

Itâ??s nice that the plans are designed so that any home handyman can complete the project, no special tools or skills are needed.

The blades for a wind turbine under 5 feet blade diameter (30 inch blades) are made from strong PVC pipe. It is easy to cut and easy to work with. The blades are cut on kind of an angle to center so they work better in the wind.

Donâ??t worry the plans cover all of the details.

A DC motor is used as a turbine to make power from the wind. Learning how to build a wind generator is really just a simple matter of sizing the motor to the blades, the bigger the motor the bigger the blades.

The body and tail of the machine, it was suggested that we use a free source of stainless steel material so it would weather better.

The tower we also got for free. It seems that people have no use for their old TV towers as they are switching to satellite. These towers are strong, light and easy to find.

Our first wind generator turned out great and only cost about $120 including the plans. We use it along with our solar panels and bio diesel generator to power our home completely off grid.

What if you want to build a bigger one as we chose to do right after this project?

The only real difference is that you will need bigger blades, at least 8 foot diameter (4 foot individual blades) and they should be made from wood.

You need straight clear grained wood with no knots, cedar, spruce or any strong hardwood will work.

While the PVC blades can be made in an hour or so, wooden blades take about a day to complete. Most of the rest of the machine is the same, whether big or small, perhaps a bigger body and frame for the larger models.

Arenâ??t you tired of rising electric bills?

Isnâ??t it time you built your own too?

Wind generator is a device that used to collect the kinetic energy from the wind and convert it into a form of energy to run your house appliances. This method is widely use for most of the house owners who have the desire to cut down their utility bills expenses or completely living off grid.

How much the home energy that you can generate for your house is heavily depending on your wind generator quantity and your geographic location. If you are not living in an areas that have a lot of strong winds, then it is wise for you to completely scrapped down your idea to use wind powers as your source of your home energy. As for the quantity, you need to be realistic.

You don’t expect that your one wind generator would help you completely cut down your power bills by 50% or completely remove it. You have to take the account that wind is intermittent and very unpredictable. The results of the wind energy can be produced on every day are vary. So, keep it in your mind that relying on one wind generator to collect all the winds and convert it to run your whole house for every day is just insane.

There is a limit for one wind generator to produce the energy.Just as the old folks used to said, many hands make light work and faster. So, if you are serious about to cut down your utility expenses, put more effort and build more of your wind generators. You may spend more than $200 or more but the end justifies all since you still going to save a lot of money in the long run.

Building a wind generator doesn’t solve your home energy problem at once. You should aware that if you are a big energy consumer, you still have to pay more for your power bills. Don’t go nut to let your house appliances to run for whole days just because you have the wind generator outside your house producing electricity for you.
