Buy a {word1} for $2500 or build your own for less than $100?
If you're serious about living off the grid you have probably looked into buying solar panels or wind generatorss. The trouble with this that it is just too pricey to purchase decent solar arrays or a powerful enough wind turbine without bankrupting your family. We've been there. When we first started out living off grid we barely had enough money to build our house. How were we going to power our home? We were talking to our good friend Mike Shepherd and he told us that it's pretty simple to build a wind generators. He told us that there are quite a lot of designs accessible online to download. Big mistake! We didn't understand any of the designs that we found online. It always seemed that these writers just wanted to establish that they were the brightest people in the world. We ended up spending well over $100 on plans until we decided to do the research ourself and build our own. We spent over 6 months researching before perfected our wind turbine, but during peak winds it will yield more than 1800 watts of power. We then chose to arrange the hard learned facts into simple plans so that even the non-technically inclined could build their own windmill. The Home made aerogenerator Challenge * the designs needs to be easy to follow and understand * it has to generate over 1000 watts of electicity * less than 100 dollars to build * original blueprint for the home-made aerogenerator * uses only readily accessible material * must be effortless to build and set up * Rugged enough to hold up to the tough Mid west winds * and it has to have a nice appearence We have shown these designs to Oscar and he said he wish that we'd shown him these plans before! He experienced the same problems that we had. he did not understand most of the plans that he came acrossed neither. Our recently constructed wind-mill presently stands on the top of a restored television tower spinning out free electricity for our family. Send us the photos of your completed project and we will put them on the website! We had a lot of fun learning how to build a wind turbine and we want to share that fun with you. We could have spent thousands on a new wind generators but why? And we make this promise to you: these plans do meet the preceding requirements, but it does take some work on your part. .
