Wow! Your neighbor is building a wind turbine to generate their own electricity, and you are really impressed! But wait -- you may be surprised to learn that building a wind turbine is not actually that difficult, and many people are realizing what a good idea it is to use renewable sources of energy by constructing their own wind electricity generator. If you have the right plans and instructions, and enough motivation, then you can be building your own wind turbines in no time at all.
The key point is the instruction manual (and the plans included in it): if you spend that little extra to buy a good-quality, clear set of instructions with a detailed plan then the extra investment will soon pay off -- a lower-quality cheap manual will leave you frustrated, angry, and demoralized.
A wind turbine normally has four main components that you will have to buy: the propeller, the turbine, the tower structure, and the batteries. You will obviously need tools during the construction, but they will be tools that most DIY enthusiasts will already have: typically you will need a saw, a drill, and a set of wrenches.
Your wind turbine will be very low maintenance -- apart from one part: the motor. This will need some regular maintenance and oil here and there to ensure it stays at peak efficiency, but that is all -- and your wind turbine will amply reward you with plenty of free energy in return for this small regular effort. You should also bear in mind that typical blades on a wind turbine are four feet long, so that the total diameter of the propeller can be eight feet -- so you will need plenty of work space!
Constructing your own wind turbine is obviously going to take some effort, but with a decent good quality set of instructions and good quality parts you will find it easier than you think. The process is not overly complicated, and once the turbine is up and running you will immediately begin to see the returns as your electricity bill goes down every month. You may be lucky and find someone local who can build and install your wind turbine for you, but such people are in greater and greater demand these days as more people turn towards trying wind turbine power themselves.
So you should learn for yourself how to build your own wind turbine -- benefit from knowing that you are supplying your own energy at very little cost, and that you are taking steps towards saving the planet, and you will soon find that, when it comes to wind power, cost of parts and construction are easily outweighed by the benefits of creating electricity!
