" No More Electricity Bills By Assembling A Wind Power System
"
 A wind turbine large enough to provide enough energy to power an average sized home can run anywhere from $6,000 to over $20,000.They currently reduce utility bills by 50%-90% on average and typically pay for themselves after 8-15years. Here i'm going to show you how to build your own wind generator for as little as $200.These windmills can be setup to power any household appliance.
First.you will need to be in a windy location for this to be worth the effort. (Wind turbines can work in any area that has decent wind gusts of around 8 MPH(3.5m/s),
best results at 12 MPH(5.5m/s) or more
.
)
For Wind Maps -
USA , Canada , Europe , Africa , South America , South Asia , Australia , Asia
Note that regions with (AVERAGE ANNUAL(ANA) 7+) are generally decent candidates for wind turbines.There is no point building a windmill if the average annual wind speed under 6 MPH, In which case, you should look into solar power.
Overview Of Building A Wind Turbine
| A wind generator consists of three basic parts. |
- Rotor blades: Rotor blades are used to transfer energyfrom the wind into kinetic energy.
- Shaft: When the rotor blades rotate, they rotate the shaft, which transfers the mechanical energy into the
generator.
- Generator: Generators operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When magnets are rotated around a conductor, they generate electricity. |
Break down of the parts I should used...

DC motors
DC motors are perfect for My DIY wind generator.
This is a the DC motor which used for a generator.You should pay attention to the RPM, shaft size, amps and voltage.It depend on the wind strength in your regions.

blades
The best materials to use to create your blades is ABS or PVC pipe.
After you cut the blades feel free to sand them down in order to improve efficiency. Pay extra attention to the leading edge of the blades. The smoother this is the easier it will cut through the mwind and pick up speed. |

Completed Wind Turbine
When you completed Assembling the wind turbine ,mount it on tower. You can use standard steel pipe.Alternatively, if you know how to weld you can build your own tower. |
