Homemade Wind Generator
: Home Improvement: wind
By: Ben Dave  
High energy costs and an environmentally battered
planet affect each and every one of us in one way or
another. The fact of the matter is it is actually quite
possible for a good percentage of us to slash our
power bill while helping to save the planet. Yes, kill
two birds with one stone simply by resorting to
renewable energy and the most convenient and
practical way to do that is arguably through the use of
wind power generators.

With wind power generators, we literally get energy out
of air, more specifically moving air called wind. This
invisible but precious natural resource is free and
green. It?s also practically endless in certain regions.
However, it?s important to note that the wind resource
must be of a certain level in order for the deployment
of windmills to be feasible. The tower must not have to
reach very high to avoid ground turbulence and the
wind-speed is ideally in excess of 10 miles per hour.
Wind power generation is based on the principle of energy conversion. Basically, the wind
energy turns the windmill which is connected to a turbine alternator or converter to produce
electrical power. Traditional windmills are just water pumps but modern wind power
generators are complete power systems that come with safety, high-wind survival, lightning
and electrical overload protection and emergency shutdown features. Most are equipped
with options for storage and interconnection to local utility grids for credit or sale of overflow
power.

There are a few factors to take into account for a wind power home. For instance, the size of
the available space on the compound of the house, the presence of enough quality wind, the
required tower height pertaining to regulations and neighborhood acceptance, the noise,
safety and other effects on the surroundings are some of the predominant considerations.
Another significant factor is whether excess power from the home generators can be sold or
credited back onto the power grid of the local provider.

Even with the advancement of technology in this field, it is hardly practical to live off-grid with
wind power as the sole source of power for your home. No matter what, the elements will
never be 100 percent predictable and that's why it's most suitably used as a mutually
complementary source of energy with solar power which will also endure crunch spells.
Nevertheless, it's greatly beneficial even if it's deployed only as a supplementary supply to
the power grid.

It's not rocket science to make wind power. There is plenty of information and literature at
your finger tips over the internet. A handful of those DIY handbooks actually do a very neat job
in guiding even the totally uninitiated to construct their own wind power generators from
scratch. It's possible to not only slash your power bills but also get paid for the excess that is
channeled back onto the utility grid. On top of that, there's the feeling of gratification from
knowing that you have contributed to the green movement.
