So You Want To Build a Wind Turbine
I glad to be able to tell you that building a wind turbine is with the correct instructions really easy. When I started looking into building my own wind turbine I was worried about how I would connect them to my house or the mains as I’m not an electrician.
I’m happy to say that I found a really good guide that explained everything I needed to know to build my first turbine in a single weekend. My friends and family couldn’t believe I had built it all myself (I’m not that good at building stuff normally), I smiled and explained that it was actually easy
I didn’t tell them about the guide that had helped me along every step of the way… we will keen that between me and you!
This is the guide that helped me, and hay if I can build one a turbine then seriously anyone can!
What Materials Do I Need?
Its important to get all the materials before you start your build project, last thing you want is to be half way through the build and not have whats needed to finish.
A list of basic materials you will need.
- PVC sheets or plywood
- white glue
- eye screws
- washers
- LED
- 1/4 square dowel
- disk magnets
- magnetic or copper wire
Most of the items can be brought from hardware stores.
The guide that I spoke about before does show you how to get many of these materials at much lower prices, saved me a bundle
You can see the guide here
How Much Will It Cost To Build My Own Wind Turbine?
You can build a wind turbine for less than $200, less if you are able to source parts cheaply.
You can use old washing machine motors to reduce costs, if you do not have an old washing machine go to a breakers yard.
How Hard Is It To Build My Own Wind Turbine?
Building a wind turbine is not a simple project but the good news is that with the right information anyone can do it.
If you can follow simple step by step instructions then you can build your own wind turbine.
What is the Earth4Energy system?
The Earth4Energy system has been created so that everyone can create their own power at home, it gives step by step instructions with images and videos that anyone can follow along with.
With the aid of the Earth4Energy system I got my first wind turbine built in a single weekend. I really liked how it didn’t only tell me what parts I needed but where I could get most of them for free.
I now have two wind turbines and a solar panel (instructions for solar panels are also in the system), I am now at the stage of selling electricity back to the power company making me and my family an addition income stream meaning we can have an extra holiday this year!
If you too want to reduce or eliminate your power bills then this is perfect for you. 1 week from now you could have your first wind turbine up and powering your home!
