Part of a growing trend, a Danish family of seven has installed its own wind turbine to produce all the electricity the family needs while reducing its carbon footprint.
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.
As a lawyer, I could give a shit what a TV producer thinks about anything. Your comment didn’t tell us anything except that you are a whiny little bitch who loves the sound of his own voice.
The total cost would be diminished by selling excess power back to the utility company and the saved dollars that would have been paid for the electricity. Yes – it’s called an “investment.” It could take a while for it to pay off in the long run but it’s a reliable investment provided the wind continues to blow, which it will.
Who are these people who show up with mindless pro fossil fuel industry comments and who is bankrolling them?
Private distributed power as most know is the ultimate freedom and the cost will be below fossil fuel energy within the next five years.
Finaly!
hmm
Your commment reflects the maturity level of a small child.
He is saving the planet and attempting to show idiots like you that if we all did this our world would be much better off.
Unless of course you still want to buy oil from countries that use that money to support an agenda of your destruction.
Go to California way and buy yourself a tesla.

would be a pretty good investment, and produce zero carbon emission
This is great.
carbon footprint my ass
lol, I missed this cause I was in the shower with my boyfriend
having energy for free is nice, but stop bulshitting about carbon footprint
OMG my wet panties drive my boyfriend Kyle wild!
The population density in some areas of the world is too great for a family to own their own turbine. Big cities and whatnot. But I like this guy’s initiative, good for areas where the houses are more spaced out.
Me too.
My friend has a property with a shed
OFF THE GRID! no power bills realy see no need for 240v , if we need it for welding ect work shop we use a petrol generator
The hole setup is 12v free wind and sun power /flat screen tv /120 liter fridge .12v water pump for shower ect, lighting ,radio dvd cd player all 12 volt
gas for hot water and cooking . 8x12v
batterys .3x large solar panels .a winmill trypod tower like the one in this video.
fitted with a 450watt wind generator
To easy !
that’s awesome, nice system and video.
seem to be nice about the Wind EnergyKeep it up
Congratulations excellent idea.

You are a model for Denmark, the U.S. and the rest of the world! We can do this!
Great idea but the reason for doing it, from what he is saying is bogus! We need CO2 and a lot more of it. Anyone brain dead enough to really believe the idea we are killing the earth by breathing out should be wearing a straight jacket.
chezz you are oversimplifying an exceptionally complex system. yes we exhale CO2, yes plants absorb CO2, but if we produce 1000x more CO2 than the planet can absorb, and then reduce the ammount of forsests in the world that absorb the CO2 by 80%, were left with way to much CO2 in the atmosphere, which is a greenhouse gas that causes global warming.
The Neterlands heeft zelf ook video’s van National geographic, waarom mag ik de video’s van U niet bekijken of opslaan?
hi &NANE2&, nice video. Friends and Subscribers welcome if you want to have a look at my Home Wind/Solar Energy stuff.
Great video- thanks for showing sustainability in action!
