Electricity costs are constantly elevating that’s why people are looking for other means to cut down energy consumption because of other important necessities. The natural and alternative sources of energy such as the use of solar cells and homemade wind turbines are the most popular.

The energy from homemade wind turbines can be used to run electricity on households, in industries, in farms and more. The cost of constructing the turbine is nothing compared to the total costs of electrical expenditures in the next ten years or so if we turn down the idea of building a wind turbine. Many industries have adapted to this means of sourcing energy because it proves to be cost effective, economical and most of all, environmental friendly.

Of course, it does not happen with random planning. This is because there is a complex system that is involved in this energy-producing machine.

Location is a huge factor in building a wind turbine. It will never work as effectively as at should if placed in the city, or in places where there are a lot of buildings.
As such, there’s no need to actually hire an electrical or mechanical engineer to make it possible. You must however follow strictly on the rules and guidelines in making your homemade wind turbine.

Homemade wind turbines make use of wind to generate electricity. A wind that travels at least 5 mph to 10 mph can usually generate enough power to convert to electricity.

You must understand the mechanics of a wind turbine so that you can maximize it’s use. A wind turbine is comprised of three components.

These are the blades, the motor and the tower. The function of the blade is to pick up wind current to power the motor. Then the motor, as the center of the whole machine converts the wind current into electricity for your household or establishment. The tower is what holds the fan in place.

The turbine creates power through the current of the wind. It has to be converted to alternating current with the use of an inverter. Also, wires are involved so if you have no experience, you should study how these wirings work and where they must be connected. After the turbine is set up, make sure that you check everything; see to it that all of the components are attached properly so that it can withstand wind gusts.
