Build a Wind Generator of Your Own

If you want to save money and tackle a real project, then why not build a wind generator of your own?

Ok, so you think that building a wind generator is some sort of difficult task that is better left to large manufacturing facilities; but you are seriously wrong. In third-world countries all over the globe, people have been making homemade wind generators using regularly available parts to help offset high energy costs. If someone in the third-word can do it with rustic tools and very little know-how, then you should be able to build a wind generator that is ten times more efficient.

Imagine being able to sell your electricity to the power companies instead of having to buy it from them. This is not a dream, many people all over the globe are already doing it. Legislation in many nations allow homeowners like yourself to produce their own power and sell the excess to the electrical companies without the need for an expensive power plant license. If you have a large enough parcel of land, and plenty of wind, then you could potentially make a living simply by selling your electricity back to the grid.

Of course there will always be those who will complain about the wind generators blocking the natural view of the countryside, but you do after all have a right to peaceful possession of your own property and the right to do with your land as you see fit. With that said, what’s stopping you from building your very own wind generator?

Maybe you just do not have the time, or maybe it is because of the costs; these are just excuses though. As for the time, it is suggested that when you build a wind generator, that you take each step slowly to ensure that it is completed properly and is of the best possible quality. The more you rush, the greater the chances are that you will make a mistake in the generator’s construction. As for the costs, building your own generator is much cheaper then purchasing a commercially built unit.

Start today by finding a set of plans that will give you in-depth detail to the construction of your first wind turbine. After you have completed this first one, then you can take that information, knowledge and experience and design a much better and more efficient unit.
