Wind energy
Do you think that your energy bill is steadily increasing? Are you looking for an alternative energy for your home or your business? You can save more than70% of your utility bill by switching to alter source of energy with little spending. Natural elements such as sun, wind and water is used to generate power. With these natural products, in fact you are generating your own power for your need and after some time you’ll be able to live completely off grid. Thousands of people are already doing it, and you can do by creating their own homemade wind generators.
When you start building windmills, you do not want to start with a big project because it will cost you more and you will also need more time. You will start with wind power electricity for less than five hundreds Watts for a total cost of less than $300.
To make your own energy with wind power, you are going to create your own homemade wind generators. You will be able to find the motor in old appliances, and for the other parts [such as batteries tower and the base], a trip to your local junk yard is enough to find all you need to start. A starter kit is available in the market, with everything your need to start with your wind generated electricity for homes.
Before you consider building your own wind generators, make sure that there is enough wind in your area. If there is not enough wind, you will not be able to produce the amount of kinetic energy you need to convert the wind into electricity. You need to choose the best windmill design for your needs. A windmill's design is very simple. You have the tower, blades, motor, base and batteries. You can even use common materials found in any scrap yard. For instance, the motor can be a DC motor you find in old treadmills, sewing machines and washing machines. You need to know that the size of your motor is important to determine how much power you will make from the wind. Your tower's height is also an important factor to consider
Once you installed your own windmill, you will not have many things to do since they don't require a lot of maintenance. The only problem is your tower will probably suffer when a bird is made prisoner by your windmill, or a major storm in your area.
Be aware that installing your own home made wind generators can cost you few thousands; you need to conduct the project seriously and learn about all the option available before you start. If you really want to do it yourself, you may want to invest in a good guide like Earth4energy manual for example. You will save a lot of money. Though it is costlier, it is one time long term investment last for many years and worth for the amount you invest.
