Building A DIY Wind Generator For Your Home

If you having considering whether to produce your own renewable energy, then building a DIY wind generator is actually one of the most effective options you can go for. Wind power is usually readily available; it is free to collect and is it highly affordable for the average homeowner. With the right planning and construction, and assuming the wind is strong enough in your area, you should be able to supply at least 50% of your energy needs with a good windmill.

So just how does wind power work and is it the right way to replace your current grid energy source?

The History of Wind Power

Wind power has, of course, been used for many hundreds of years. As far back as Roman times, and perhaps even earlier, windmills were being used to grind grain and move water in a far more efficient fashion than simple man or animal power could provide. But it wasn’t until the 19^th century that electrical power was used on a large scale to drive machinery, and it was recognized that wind power could be used to drive electrical turbines and create electricity on a large scale for industrial and home use.

Now we are reaching the end of the ‘coal and oil’ age for power generation, the question of how to build a wind generator to replace these sources has become much more urgent. Fortunately there has been enormous amount of research into using wind power for both large and small scale purposes, and as a homeowner you can easily access the information and materials you need to get started.

How To Harness Wind Power For Your Home

Whatever scale you look at, the principles remain the same. The wind hits the windmill blades which turn a generator, which produces an electrical current, similar to the way your car’s alternator charges the car battery. If your property isn’t blocked by large trees or buildings, you only need a small tower or supporting pole (~10 to 20 feet high) to attach your blades and motor, and a network of batteries to store the electrical energy you produce.

When planning your DIY wind generator, it is a good idea to seek the advice of an electrician to make sure all your house wiring, including battery system, is connected efficiently and safely. As far as the construction materials go, some strong galvanized steel tubing can be used to build the tower, and you can even fashion the turbine blades out of recycled plastic bottles. If you are a keen DIYer, you can build the actual turbine yourself, or you can easily purchase a complete kit online. Make sure that your structure includes safety features to prevent people climbing the tower and possibly getting injured by the turning blades.

A DIY wind generator is a great way to get started with renewable energy. You can have a lot of fun while building your project, and over the long term will save yourself a lot of money in reduced energy bills. You’ll also have the satisfaction of contributing to the worldwide shift towards safe and renewable energy sources.
