Practically everybody knows what a wind turbine is and the way they produce energy, but for those who don’t know I will explain. If you picture a plane propeller sitting atop a tall tower, this is what a turbine looks like. Electricity is created by the generator, housed within the turbine casing, any time the rotor is spun by the wind. Inside the power generator are many magnets and lots of copper wire, which generates electricity. It is a fairly easy process.
Wind turbines, as the name suggests, call for wind …

When you decide to install environmentally friendly generators for your home, whether it be solar power systems, home wind turbines, solar hot water heater or any combination of the three, you’re going to increase the value of your home and cut your energy costs by up to 50%, while reducing greenhouse gases and your dependence on fossil fuels. The sun transmits more energy to the earth’s surface in one hour than humans use in an entire year, but currently, we don’t make the most of this free and abundant resource.

Home wind turbines have different efficiencies at different wind velocities. Wind turbines are “most” efficient in a wind speed that is about 30 miles per hour. A home wind turbine functioning in a 10 miles per hour wind will have a much lower efficiency.
A good rule of thumb is to measure the average wind velocity where you live (or look it up) and compare this wind velocity to the energy conversion efficiency that the manufacturer specifies. So, if your average wind velocity is 20mph, you can look up how …

There are a lot of talks about renewable energy and tapping into “free energy,” however, renewable energy is not free anymore than gasoline is free. Sure, it is theirs for the taking, but you have to invest effort in “taking it.” So, how do you figure out if purchasing a home wind turbine is really going to save you money.
Take A Look At A Wind Map
A good first step is to look at a “wind map” of the United States. Check the area where you live. Does it …

Why you should build your own wind turbine? The reason is simple. It is because you get to save over 80% of your electrical expenses every month. With such the present economic crisis happening in the world today, it can be a breath of fresh air to see the cost of such items actually decrease for a change. You will have to make a small investment when you build your own wind turbine. Yet you will find it pays for itself in a matter of months.
If you create more …
