There’s really no reason to buy a wind generator considering that you can build your own 1000w home wind turbine for under $150 including the plans. Our family has built 3 now for our own off grid home and are sure you will have no trouble building your own either. If you built a wind power system in any other period in history you would need to invest a lot of time and money. Even a decade ago this wasn’t as possible. But there are now many great sources to get low cast or no cost parts for your wind power system. This type of generator has several advantages to it such as, because of the fact that it can be placed at the bottom close to the ground, the tower does not have to support the generator can be placed at the bottom, not only that but the turbine does not need to be pointed in the direction of the wind. Although it certainly has its advantages, the turbine also has its disadvantages. Some of the disadvantages are that it is not an easy task to mount vertical axis turbines onto towers, because of this they normally have to operate slower and get the turbulent air flow close to the ground, which results in a less efficient energy extraction. More importantly for the home user though, making use of the planet’s natural resources to generate electricity is effectively free once the initial setup has been completed. Initial setup isn’t that complicated either. Basically you want to find a part of your property with good windflow to erect the home wind turbine. This is then wired up to, normally, a bank of batteries that store the electricity generated. This can then be fed into your house’s power supply or used to power extra lighting or even your water heating. 60hz Countries
