Wind Energy Wind Power and Home Wind Generators

When you think of wind energy these days it usually conjures up images of wind farms covering vast stretches of land, populated by enormous (and very expensive!) electricity generating wind turbines. As is often the case with “alternative” technology such as wind energy, your perception of that technology is often shaped and limited by the information you are provided with. Very often those sources of information have been to some degree manipulated to make that technology seem far more complicated and inaccessible than it really is. Wind power electricity can not only be easily understood by the average person but it is also [...] . . . → Read More: Wind Energy Wind Power and Home Wind Generators

Home Made Wind Turbine Generator

One of the main problems you have to deal with when looking for reliable information about any type of homemade wind turbine generator is the fact that everyone has an agenda. There are those that want you to believe that a wind turbine generator is something far too technical and so hugely expensive that it is totally out of the reach of the average person. That you are better off staying with traditional sources of power for your home because, “it’s all too hard to deal with.” Others promote the idea that the technology of wind turbine power is practical for home [...] . . . → Read More: Home Made Wind Turbine Generator

Residential DIY Wind Turbine

Probably the first thing we should cover regarding residential DIY wind turbines is to separate the facts from the marketing when it comes to exactly what role wind turbines can play for home wind power. The area of alternative energy and especially alternative home power sources is full of biased information depending on who is providing it and what they want you to buy. There are two main sources of this biased information and they are both driven by the same financial interests. The first are those that manufacture wind turbines for home use. Generally speaking the cost of these wind turbines is very [...] . . . → Read More: Residential DIY Wind Turbine
