You’ve decided to set up wind turbine generators for home electricity and now you need to figure out how. Most people turn to the more expensive option of ‘buy a wind generator‘, but there is a better option for most families. You can actually build your own 1000 watt home wind generator for under $150. That’s a tremendous savings over the $3200 we just recently priced a new one at. Your home built model will look great (we’ve built 3 now) and you can build it with regular tools in only a couple days.

What do you need to start?

· Detailed plans for wind turbine generators for home electricity

· Common household tools- cordless drill, wrenches…

· A reliable helper- family, friends maybe

· A small workspace- garage, extra room, basement etc.

Wind turbine generators for home electricity are quite simple machines really. The heart of the generator is a DC motor that acts as a power turbine producing electricity when the blades turn in the wind. You will have to order this from the sources listed in the plans. Don’t worry, the DC motor can be shipped directly to your door in only a couple of days. While you are waiting you can get started on the rest of the project.

The detailed plans said to start with the blades, so that’s what we did. Balancing the size of the blades with your power output from the DC motor is a little tricky, but not too complicated. Basically the larger the blades, the more power produced and the larger the motor needed. The 1000w wind turbine generators for home electricity that we mentioned earlier needs to have a total blade diameter of 8 feet or individual blades 4 feet long. That catches a lot of wind when it’s really blowing. You will need a tower to get your wind generator up to the constant winds. The detailed plans showed us where to obtain free used TV towers that work great. They even showed us sources of free deep cycle batteries too.

When you get all of the parts together just assemble everything when the DC motor arrives. It really is a surprisingly simple project.

We often wonder why they charge so much for new ones? And when those blades start turning and your home wind machine starts producing free electricity for your home you won’t be able to stop smiling. Did you know that electrical rates are expected to double next year? Isn’t it time you started this project to save on those costs? Let’s get started.
