Home Wind Turbine - How To Build Your Own Wind Turbine

Aug. 24, 2009 - PRLog -- Wind power is absolutely clean and the only objection to it, voiced by some people, is visual pollution from the arrays of wind turbines necessary for large scale power production. However there are no problems of this kind with the residential wind turbine. Small scale wind power generation is achieved with small and unobtrusive home wind turbines. Small wind powered turbines are manufactured by a number of companies and can be readily set up either as a rooftop wind turbine or mounted on its own small tower. A tower height of 30 feet is often recommended. These will pay for themselves in time but are quite expensive.

If you know how to build a home wind turbine, your electrical bills will cost much less and fortunately this is fairly easy to do. Plans and instructions showing how to build your own wind turbine are readily available and thousands of people have built their own home wind turbine. It is often said that only an area prone to strong winds is suitable for wind power generation. This is absolutely not so. Even gentle breezes will produce power which is stored in batteries till needed.

Benefits of a home wind turbine:

1. Achieve tax breaks and lower utility bills
2. Power appliances, charge batteries and generate water pumps
3. Environmentally friendly
4. Increase your efficiency and never worry about power outages again
5. Reduce your dependability on exhaustible resources
6. Ease of Use

If you live far from electric power lines you either get by with no electric power or generate your own. Gasoline powered generators will do the job but they are expensive to run and heavy polluters. You may be fortunate enough to have a stream which can generate power for you using a water power system but these are usually difficult to build and expensive. In most situations a wind turbine is the best answer. You can in fact build your own wind turbine for much less than the price of a commercial model. You could have plenty of power for all needs if you install two or three of them. Building your own home wind turbine is a fairly simple project which the average homeowners can easily manage. Wind power is the coming thing and will save you money as well as reducing atmospheric pollution. Why not try it?

There are many great installation guides available for making your own home wind turbines. You may want to explore these guides available at http://www.greenearth4energy.com. There, you can also find some highly rated guides on how to build a solar panel, a home wind turbine, a magnetic power generator and a solar water heater altogether.
