Build a Wind Generator - Make Your Own and Save Money

Wind generators are getting very popular these days and no wonder due to the overwhelming advantages to them. The trend to build a wind generator is only going to continue because of the cost of energy is only going to get more expensive as time goes by.

The process on how build a wind generator might not be as hard as a lot of people might think. I'm really happy to be able to give you a run down now.

To build a wind generator you can use a lot of different materials but the basic materials are outlined below and you can certainly get them from local hardware stores or you might find them lying around the home or garage.

1. Get your self some PVC pipe with the diameter of at least 10cm and about inch thick and at least 50cm long, this will be used to make the blades.

2. Draw on the pipe four rectangle 50cm sections, this will allow you to cut it into four pieces for the blades. This is the difficult part, you need to put the pipe in a vice and cut it with a hacksaw into the strips.

3. Once you have cut out the pieces, cut out a rectangle piece at the bottom about 5 cm to the left or right, the non-cutout section will let us attach the blade to where it is needed. You should also paint it with UV protective paint to make sure that it will last longer.

4. Drill two holes in the plastic end section so it will be able to be attached to two metal round plate sections.

5. You simply need to strap the turbine to a piece of wood or metal with screwable clips like what's used to clamp a radiator hose on a car so it will stay fixed while the generator turns in the wind.

6. At the end of the tail section we needed to put in a metal fin section so that when the wind blows the wind powered generator is kept facing into the wind and has a direction.

*A 30 volt motor is enough to make approximately 200 watts of power.

This is the main process to building a wind generator, just remember that once you have built the wind generator you don't have to build it again.The main idea is that you will start saving a lot of money and also you will save a lot of energy.
