Wind Generator

Here at the Living Off the Grid homestead we like challenges. Our challenge here was to build a Homemade Wind Generator that satisfied the following criteria for design, and teach you how to build it efficiently while having fun too.

Homemade Wind Generator Challenge

-Your Homemade Wind Generator can be built for under $100 usd and will produce 1000 watts of power
-You will find FREE wind towers and batteries!
-You will find FREE wind generator blades- built in an hour!
-You will build your own FREE Battery Desulfator
-The plans are easy to read and follow
-You will match your generator motor to your blades
-This is an Original design for the homemade wind generator
-Must be made from readily available material
-Must be easy to build and assemble
-Tough enough to endure the tough Canadian climate
-Your home made wind generator will look good!
-Protect your new wind generator from damaging high winds with a simple tilt-up or pilot vane system

And we make this promise to you: these plans do meet the preceding requirements, but it does take some work on your part. You bought these plans because you presumably didn't want to spend over $2500 for a wind generator. These plans offer many solutions to the challenge above, use your own imagination too.

My wife Jane, our 12 year old son Andre' and myself all took part in the challenge, and we have, after many months of work come up with a design that meets ALL of the above criterion. With our 15 years of experience Living Off the Grid with renewable energy we have seen many different wind generator designs. We think these plans are the very best plans available on the 'net', when cost, ease of assembly, and the short time frame to achieve the desired results are all considered.

You can be living off grid in no time.
