DIY Wind Generator - Homemade Wind Turbine Plans
Sales of these plans are going mad at the moment.
The combination of the high cost of electricity and concern about the welfare of our planet, have sent sales soaring.
Quality plans for your DIY wind generator, start at around $50, and are available in paper version or from the internet in a downloadable form.
The total cost of the materials to create your own wind turbine is going to be in the region of $200 and are readily available at most good hardware stores.
I consider this to be money well spent.
A good, reliable, ready-made version of a similar wind generator is going to set you back in the region of $2000 and upwards.
Even at this price, this is great value in itself because the generator will pay for itself in a couple of years.
Better value by a long way is the DIY wind generator route.
Once you have the plans for your wind turbine, you can replicate the process over and over again.
One turbine probably won't provide all of the electricity for your household needs, but two or three DIY wind generators should be ample.
Not only will your electricity bills be none existent, with the correct set up, you will be able to sell surplus electricity from your wind turbines, back to the national grid.
Homemade wind turbine plans are set out in an easy to follow format.
They will explain everything from getting the correct materials to making your turbine to setting it up.
With the downloadable plans, if at any time you have a problem with any aspect of your project, there will be customer support which are very helpful and quick in their response.
The best guides will also supply video instructions to work along side the written plans.
The way I see it is that there are many benefits to making a DIY wind generator.
There are two main benefits, financial and environmental.
Electricity bills can be reduced or eliminated.
Price rises won't effect you any more.
Surplus electricity can be sold back to the grid.
Your investment will pay for itself over and over again.
Carbon emissions will be reduced.
The air will be cleaner.
Rivers and waterways will be free of pollution.
Transportation of fossil fuels will be lessened.
Making a DIY wind generator is fun and is a great way to bond and spend time together with the family.
It is very satisfying and rewarding experience knowing that you are making your own electricity and are helping the planet.
