Using a Wind Generator For Renewable Energy

People have been using wind energy to water animals and drain land for literally centuries, and now you can use the power of the wind to lower your energy costs, and help make your home more environmentally friendly.

Building Your Wind Generator
The most important part of making renewable energy from the wind is making sure that you build a windmill that will work for the average wind speeds in your area. For most people on the North American continent, wind energy will be stronger in the winter and less productive in the summer. To build a productive wind generator, you will need to do a little research to find out exactly what you need to make renewable energy, and then build your windmill. For most people, creating renewable energy from wind power does take some learning experiences.

So, you're thinking about getting into clean energy by building your own wind generator, huh? The cleanest energy available right now is wind energy and you can build a wind generator to capture that power for a small investment of time and money. Building a generator means you can cut your energy bill by 30-100%. Building a wind generator is like recycling: you'll be part of the solution rather than part of the problem.

So, you're thinking about getting into clean energy by building your own wind generator, huh? Good idea. With all the news about a looming energy crisis and global warming, lots of other people are trying to learn more about how to be more responsible and self-sufficient. The cleanest energy available right now is wind energy and you can build a wind generator to capture that power for a small investment of time and money. Here are the four questions I am asked the most by people who want to try building their own windmill.

Q: Why Should I Build a DIY Wind Generator?
A: Take a look at your electric bills by month for the last 3 years. You'll notice that it's going up...way up! Chances are you're paying 10-20% more on energy today than you were 3 years ago. Building a generator means you can cut your energy bill by 30-100%. Also, as our population grows the load on the power grid is rising too. If you live in California you've heard of rolling blackouts because of the lack of power at peak times. Building a wind generator is like recycling: you'll be part of the solution rather than part of the problem.
Q: How Much Energy Will I Be Able To Make?
A: This depends on your energy demand and location. Windy areas can make as much as 10kw of energy. Calm areas can produce in the range of 2-4kw. The typical American home uses 30kwh of electricity a day. That means you could make all the power you need with 3 wind generators running 24 hours a day. It depends on what percentage of your electricity you want to replace.
