Do-It-Yourself Wind Generator – How To Develop Home-Made Wind Generators

Learning how to build a homemade wind turbine became necessary to our family when we initially began wanting to buy a wind turbine to run our off gird home. The price of 1000w models wanted to run our replenish-able energy system cost almost $4000 including the tower. We had to even assemble it ourselves. We believed there must be a better way.

Our solar panel array just was not sufficiently big to run our home and we figured a large wind turbine would add to our power supply enough to meet the increased demand of three kids growing up in a mostly normal home.

What did we need?

1000w of power production

40 foot tower

Could we build a home-made wind turbine?

We decided to look at the choice of building our own, as we said when we saw the price of newer ones. The difficulty was that no simple plans existed to just do that. All the wind generator plans we encountered requested complex layout and even more welding than we cared to chase. What we needed was an easy set of plans.

None existed so we decided to make our own.

Our homemade wind turbine project took us over ten years to complete. Attempting to find a source of inexpensive parts that we could put along with comparatively straightforward tools was very difficult. Everybody appears to always wish to complicate things in order to keep their share of a very large business sector. The replenish-able energy field has grown significantly over the past couple of years and most manufacturers simply did not want anyone building their own wind generator. I guess we can understand that.

However not everybody can afford $4000 for the system we required. We know we couldn’t. So we went to work to design a system that might be employed by anyone. We even learned the best way to solidly offer a wind turbine blade design that met the easy tool- straightforward to learn standards.

It did take us over 10 years to put together our testing and research so that the average person could build their own; but we have still done our best to keep the price tag reasonable, under $30.
