Wind Turbine Construction | Build Your Own Windmill

Homemade wind power is produced by small wind turbines which are typically installed on top of a tall tower or pole. They collect kinetic energy from the wind and convert it to electricity that is compatible with a home's electrical system

Residential wind turbines are fairly popular, having been installed on homes in at least 47 of the 50 states and can in fact be quite easy to build and install yourself.

Wind turbine construction is fairly simple and can be easily retrofitted to virtually any home without the need to change any wiring or appliances. In most cases, the utility will install a second utility meter to measure how much surplus electricity it is purchasing from the turbine owner.

Wind power produces no pollution and and over its useful life, a small residential wind turbine can offset approximately 1.2 tons of air pollutants and 200 tons of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and other gases which cause climate change).

It is simpler than a diesel engine, and also requires substantially less attention and maintenance. Some types of small turbines can operate for extended periods, five years or more, without any attention. With training and spare parts, local users can support the wind turbine equipment they use for many years.

The wind turbine typically lowers your electricity bill by 50 to 90 percent. It is not uncommon for wind turbine owners with total-electric homes to have monthly utility bills of only $8 to $15 for nine months of the year.

The amount of money a small wind turbine saves you in the long run will depend upon its cost, the amount of electricity you use, the average wind speed at your site, and other factors.

You can power your home and save even more money by learning to make your own windmill for less than $200.

Federal regulations require utilities to connect with and purchase power from small wind energy systems. Not only can you save money using household wind power, but you can make money too.
