Build a Homemade Wind Turbine

Ok, you have thoughts about how to build a homemade wind turbine. With the right instructions it’s not a very complicated work.

This is a small list of “think-about” things when you are starting your first wind energy project. It’s a random list and more of an idea list than a step by step that you find in your instructions material.

  • Check that you have the right tools.
  • Be sure to have enough workspace.
  • Do you have the right material
  • Have you checked the wind maps where you live?
  • Do you need any permission for your construction?
  • Do you know anyone to partner up with? It’s more fun when you can build in a team or at least discuss the project with someone else interested (maybe not your spouse).
  • Could I build several of these wind turbines and start selling them for an additional income?
  • Be sure to know how much you are going to save on your energy bills with this project. This is a great help if you get stuck and think it’s difficult. You build it once and then you save money for years to come.

Building a homemade wind turbine is both fun and rewarding.

Who am I ?

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.
