DIY Instructions For Building a Wind Turbine to Generate Electricity

Author: Zac Linzmeier

More and more people are going green like never before; producing their own electricity through wind turbines to eliminate their electric bills and become environmentally responsible. The trend is taking off like crazy because of new plans that allow you to construct a unit, with no experience, at home for under $200 as opposed to the $7,000 - $10,000 models previously available on the market.

Wind turbine instructions vary widely. The most important thing that you need to look at before selecting a set of instructions is the level at which things are explained. Many older designs assume you were an engineer and have virtually no text, just diagrams, and also assume you want to build your own motor. Newer plans on the market are quite easy to use, lay out everything in lay mans terms, and give you locations to acquire parts like the motor for as cheap as possible and get other parts like a recycled TV or Radio tower and used, but still good, batteries completely free of charge. These are the plans you want to look for, the plans that have revolutionized the way that thousands of Americans, this year alone, have made the switch to generating their own power.

I have personally built two units on my pasture land in Oregon from a very simple set of plans and generate near all of the power I need for day to day life (enough for the summer months, as winter comes I will still need a bit from the power company for my heat). I can't believe I never heard of this sooner and highly recommend anyone considering the idea to go the cheap route, pick up some instructions, and get to work. Together we can reduce our impact on the environment and alone you can save on your electric bill. A bit of a win-win situation.
