I want to make residential wind power for my home.
I live in a built up area so I cannot have one of those massive things spinning around in my backyard.
I want to make one of those smaller windmills I always see on roof tops? Anybody have some instructions for me?
Hi, I’m Erik Astrand and the man behind this site.
My story? I am about to be 50 and all my life I have been interested in technical things. Not sure if the special interest for the wind, and how to use the wind, started when I as a 5 year old boy and got my first sail dinghy.
Anyway, wind power and to build my own wind generator was a dream for several years. I studied many websites and also bought many courses before I finally built my own windmill. This site is about that journey and you will also find some more general articles about wind power.
Enjoy! and check out the about me page to read more.
I got a simple set of instructions and in fact built three of these after I was so satisfied with the first one. I got my schematics and detailed instructions from http://www.ebooksreviewed.info/earth4energy and was on my way in no time, check it out if you’re interested.
Residential wind power is getting very popular and I am glad its catching on.
I made mine last weekend using the instructions at http://www.earth4energy.com
It’s actually a very simple process!
search in the wikepedia cite for the dealer in your region and contact.
Earth4Energy looks promising. There are a couple of other products out there as well. I found one called Poor Man’s Guide To Wind Power And Battery Systems and blogged about it last month. This guy promises to show you how to make a 1,000 watt wind turbine for less than $150.00 and a 3,000 watt wind turbine for about $220.00. The smaller one is probably what you’re looking for.
Yes, Earth4Energy is the way to go.
