Build your own wind power generators

If you are interested to know how to build your own wind powergenerators, don't worry; you have arrived at the right place. You can build your own wind power generators at home and for this you do not require any proficiency in any field. It is quite simple and you can build wind power generators below $200, however if you purchase theequipment from market, it will cost you around $2000. 

Wind provides us a renewable source of energy and therefore the energy or the electricity available to us from wind is almost free. We require only an initial investment of $200 and thereafter a nominal maintenance is required and we can generate electricity continuously and of course the amount of electricity generated depends on the wind speed. 

People are generating electricity from wind and are saving up to 70 percent of their electricity bills per month and every month. If you live in a windy area and your electricity consumption is less, you can even generate surplus electricity from your wind power generators installed in your backyard. Electricity companies are ready to purchase this surplus electricity, as this is far better than the electricity produced from non-renewable sources of energy such as coal, diesel and gas. 

You can build your own wind power generators and you will require a few items such as blades, a tower, a battery, a DC motor and a tail. DC motor should be carefully selected as it is the costliest among all other items and most importantly you should go for quality blades. You can get all these items from a nearby store; however a few items you can make yourself at your home. The next and most important part of building your generator is to assemble them and here you will need a guide.
