Learning how to build a home-made wind turbine became important to our family when we first started wanting to buy a wind generator to run our off gird home. The price of 1000w models needed to run our replenish-able energy system cost nearly $4000 including the tower. We had to even assemble it ourselves. We believed there must be a neater way.
Our solar panel array just wasn't sufficiently big to run our home and we figured a giant wind turbine would add to our power supply enough to meet the increased demand of three children growing up in a mainly normal home.
What did we need?
1000w of power production
40 foot tower
Could we build a home-made wind turbine?
We decided to have a look at the option of building our own, as we claimed when we saw the price of new ones. The difficulty was that no straightforward plans existed to do just that. All of the wind turbine plans we encountered requested complicated layout and much more welding than we cared to pursue. What we required was a simple set of plans.
None existed so we decided to make our own.
Our homemade wind turbine project took us over 10 years to complete. Attempting to find a source of inexpensive parts that we could put along with comparatively easy tools was really difficult. Everybody seems to always wish to complicate things so as to keep their share of an exceedingly big business sector. The renewable energy field has grown substantially over the past couple of years and most makers simply did not want anybody building their own wind turbine. I guess we can understand that.
But, not everyone can afford $4000 for the system we required. We know we could not. So we went to work to design a system that would be employed by anyone. We even learned ways to habitually offer a wind turbine blade design that met the easy tool- simple to learn criteria.

Learn how to build a home-made Wind Turbine. The plans are easy to follow, need simple tools only and no previous experience. It did take us over ten years to put together our testing and research so that the typical person could build their own; but we have still done our best to keep the price reasonable, under $30.
