Is it Possible to Make Your Own Wind Turbine?

The cost to make your own wind turbine may surprise you. Small residential wind generators can be built for less than $200. In fact, you will likely be able to build a wind turbine for around $100 and this turbine will pay for all of your household appliances. For this price, you will be pay for the wind turbine in less than three months... and that is a very conservative analysis.

Young people (children) are becoming the driving force to creating a greener environment. Children learn at school about the 3 R's (reduce, reuse and recycle) and bring that knowledge home with them. Make the building process a family event. The young people will get a thrill that they are helping construct something important and environmental. Make sure to take pictures of the process so the children can hold the spotlight at their next show and tell.

Do not feel that it takes an expert to learn how to make your own wind turbine. In fact, you can purchase a wind generator design book that is very easy to follow and includes illustrations. In fact, the e-book that I endorse used eleven people as guinea pigs... they had no prior experience and all were able to build a functioning wind turbine.
