Learning how to build a wind generator isn't that difficult if you have the right information. You see, most people are going to tell you that it's a very difficult task; however, a wind generator only has 3 main parts to it.

A wind generator has these 3 basic parts: a tower, blades, and the motor. Sounds pretty simple doesn't it? So why do we think that it's very difficult to build one? Namely, because we don't understand how they work. We don't have easy to follow plans, and if we do have plans they aren't very clear. The aim of this website is to teach you how to build a wind generator. I think the instructions in the plans we provide are very easy and all you need is some basic tool skills to accomplish it.

Why Learn How To Build A Wind Generator?

There are many reasons for wanting to learn how to build a wind generator, but I think the number one reason is to save money. Lets look at the costs of buying a wind generator versus building your own wind generator. Let's say that we wanted to completely power our house without any energy sacrifices. This type of setup usually requires 12Kw / day. A 1000 watt generator is usually tagged around USD$2500. We'll need two just to be sure (wind isn't blowing that much etc.) That brings the price tag of a system you buy up to USD$5000. That's definitely a little more than pocket change.

Now lets say we learn how to build a wind generator and build two 1000 watt generators ourselves. We can get the two towers for free. The motors cost roughly USD$150 apiece. The blades we can build for less than USD$50 apiece. I usually takes 15-20 hours to build one generator. So lets see... we have USD$400 in parts and 40 hours of our time. Let's factor in those hours as time you should get paid at $20/hour. That's $800 in labour and $400 in parts meaning the total is $1200. That means.... 76% savings over buying.
