A number of individuals have created a wind turbine during a weekend project and then made several more during several other weekend projects. By building just three wind turbines, on person was able to eliminate their power bill altogether.
The real test of whether building a wind turbine is practical is “do you have a wind resource?” Is the wind where you live greater than 8 miles per hour on average? If it is, you can benefit from a home built wind turbine.
There are a number of information packets on the market that are useful. It is possible to find the information searching through the net, but a buying a packet will save you time.
The basic components of a home-built turbine are the mounting pole, the generator, the turbine, and the power inverter. By locating these components yourself and spending a few hours on a project to put them together, you can produce a turbine for about $200.
So, how much energy will you need to produce to make a wind turbine project pay off? Well, electrical energy on average is about 10 cents per kilowatt hour. So, you will need to produce 2000 kilowatt hours in order to pay for your expense of building the turbine. There are 8760 hours in a year. So, your turbine will need to produce about .25 kilowatts on average to pay for itself in a year. This is not unreasonable to expect, if you live in a windy area (10 to 15 miles per hour average wind speed). After that first year, everything will be pure profit. By constructing several wind turbines, you can eliminate your power bill permanently.
