Make And Build Your Own Wind Power Generator And Save As Much As 60% Off Your Electrical Bills!
Anyone can easily make or build an environmental friendly, energy saving wind power generator to generate electricity for their home. In fact, using parts available from your local stores, you can easily build a small 10 foot diameter wind generator that will produce up to 1000 watts in winds of 25mph.
Note: Before you go ahead with investing any money to make or build a wind power generator, you should check your local area wind data from government agencies to see if your location is windy enough for a wind generator to be feasible. Alternatively, you can do a general check of wind power around your area with the US Department of Energy's Wind Map.
Tip: Some examples for the best areas for building wind generators are in coastal areas, open fields, hill tops or places where the wind is strong and reliable.

How to Make an Inexpensive Vertical Wind Turbine - Part 1
Harness the power of the wind for less than $200.
DIY vertical wind turbine of the Savonius style.
Notable is that this cost less than $100 in materials so far and that the largest part of this turbine is recycled materials (the PVC drums previously held Balsamic Vinegar from Italy).
Also, this turns well in a very light wind. Axle: 3 inch PVC piping from Home Depot Bearings: 5 inch lazy suzan from Lowes. Part 2 will cover power generation and connection to the battery bank.

Cool Facts on Wind Power Generators
Benefits of Using Wind Power Generators
Environmentally safe (Clean and non-polluting. Produces no waste or greenhouse gases.)
Wind energy is harnessed free therefore is great for charging batteries, water pumping and powering small appliances and tools than normal fuel generators.
Get tax incentives like tax breaks and lower utility bills.

Under the Public Utilities Regulatory Policy Act of 1978 (PURPA), any qualifying individual can install a wind generator and the local electric utility must pay for any excess power produced.
PURPA was specifically intended to create a market for clean, renewable, electric-generating technologies by guaranteeing a buyer for the excess power. Prior to PURPA, selling power to the utility was an option but was the discretion of the utility. With PURPA, small power producers meeting specific criteria are guaranteed purchase and interconnection. Many states now permit "net metering," in which the utility must buy wind power generated by homeowners at the same retail rate the utility charges. This essentially allows the customer's meter to turn backward while wind energy is supplied to the grid by the customer's turbine.

Wind Power Calculations
How to calculate energy savings with your wind power generator
To calculate your wind turbine generator savings, you need to know the AMWS or Average Mean Wind Speed of your area and the number of kilowatt hours of electricity that you can expect your wind turbine to generate.
Below is a video that will show you how to determine the amount of electricity that a home wind generator will produce and how much savings can you get per month.
Types of Wind Generators
Do you know?
Wind generators can be separated into two types based by the axis in which the turbine rotates.Generators that rotate around a horizontal axis are more common as they have better and higher efficiency, since the blades always move perpendicularly to the wind, receiving power through the whole rotation.
Vertical-axis generators have the main rotating blades or shaft vertically arranged and are better suited for locations where taller structures are prohibited. They are also less frequently used since most vertical-axis wind generator produce energy at only 50% of the efficiency of horizontal axis generator.
