home made wind power genarator

All very well to say "buy a new one", but in some countries the governmental controls make it difficult to import plus the import charges levied by governments, and also 'things disappear' in transit.

It is often easier to use equipment at hand IF one can get information on how to put it together.

"Once bitten twice shy"

Hi Tom,

You sound like a guy who has done this, and I have considered it for a long time, as my cheap intro to the subject.  With the price of the one I saw online at $600, it hardly seems necessary to build my own (which would undoubtedly be much less efficient and would not have the noise, safety, battery protection, and other technology of the purchased system).  But what the heck, any more discussion about what you have done and how much benefit/hassle it was?  And what to use for rotor/blades?

Thanks

Ron
