You really need to be ready for a small, simple, large and sometimes complex challenge when wanting to construct a homemade wind generator. So many say its easy, but after completing a couple myself… They aren’t simple, but they are very rewarding. Get started by following these 5 simple steps!

Determine Wind Speed in your area to ensure you receive maximum results. This seems obvious, but there are many people who have set out to build a wind generator, only to complete their project and not produce near the amount of energy they imagined! Keep in mind, if wind speed is below 5 miles per hour building a homemade wind generator may not be the most economical choice. Do you have space? Wind generators require space for the tower and room for the blades. The ideal space would be free of trees and tall buildings. Keep in mind, wind generators vary in size. The space you will need will be determined on the scale of your project. To ensure you complete a homemade wind generator that works, you need to make sure you have an easy to follow set of plans. If not, you might just be taking a shot in the dark and end up with a pile of metal! Phew! We avoided a great catastrophe with tip number 3! Now that we have wind, space and plans we can move forward! Step #4 is really about making sure you have budgeted for your project. For many, a few hundred dollars is an investment. It will pay for itself in the long run, but please be realistic with the out of pocket expense. There are a few websites online (sites where you can bid on materials!) that always have great, high quality parts for low prices. Check them out, you will save yourself a pretty penny. What are you doing still reading this? Step #5 is about getting started! Oh yeah.. And please finish! Gotta love all the projects around my house that aren’t quite finished!

That’s all folks. 5 simple steps to help you build your homemade wind generator. I know, I didn’t quite walk you through step by step how to actually construct one, I have to leave that up to you. There are so many DIY homemade wind generator plans available that will help you.
