Homemade Wind Generator

One of the greatest benefits you can earn from building a wind generator at home is to reduce or even eliminate your electricity bills. Furthermore it doesn't cause any harm to the environment.

A common question is why you need to build a generator instead of buying one? What are the advantages of such a construction?

The answer is very simple. If you decide to buy a wind generator with 1000W, it will cost you a little more than $3000! The amount of money is too high and you'll probably need more than 2 years to make a depreciation. We did a research and the materials of a wind generator can be found for less than $200. To be more specific, you'll need a DC Motor for instance which will cost you about $30 in your local hardware store. So let's start saving money from the first month of the installation instead of two years later with a bought one.

Before start building a homemade wind generator, make sure you have:

a detailed guide to learn you the steps on how to make a wind generator. The guide will teach you almost everything you need.

some workspace that's enough for you to build it.

tools which are available on every house, like a hammer, a jigsaw, wrenches etc.

When the wind generator is made, find a place at your home to install it. Preferably you'll need a place 30 ft higher than any object in 400 foot radius in order to make it as much productive as possible.
