Wind power is another alternative source of energy besides solar power. The attraction of wind power is because of the unlimited supply and cost free energy.
You can get any amounts of energy you want at literally zero price, furthermore energy generated from wind will not pollute the earth atmosphere or pollute the ozone layer.
Do you know you can make your own wind generator at home to take advantage of wind power. The best part is it doesnât cost much money either.
The Tricky Part
To tell the truth, the tricky part in making wind generator is to find a guide that can explain a simple step by step process that you can follow. All academic and other textbook are full of theories and hard to read, you donât need to know about electron reaction during inverting process when all you want to know is how to make a simple wind generator that good enough to supply electric energy you need.
Thankfully, there are several such guides online such as Michael Harvey Earth4energy.
Components For Wind Generator
If you buy ready made wind generator, it will cost you thousands of dollars, not to mention the installation fees. The hassle part of building a wind generator yourself is to find the best cheap supplier to buy different components of your wind generator with high quality.
You can find some at Ebay, or your local electronic stores such as Radioshack. If you are good enough hunting for bargain, you can get all the necessary components for less than $100.
A few additional things you should be aware if you want to use wind power is the wind supply at your area. If the area where you live has little to no wind, then building a wind generator is virtually useless.
This kind of device is best if you near in the countryside with large open spaces or live near the coast where there is constant coastal wind.
Also be aware with various wind patterns as this will determine the decision for blade size and shape you will use later on.
