We've been there. At the time when we originaly began living off grid we hardly made adequate income to build our own house.
So how could we afford powering our home?
We were talking to our friend Oscar and he reassured us that it was fairly simple to construct a aerogenerator. He assured us that there are quite a lot of designs accessible online to download.
What a mistake!
We could barely understand any of the plans that we found. It always appeared that the writer merely needed to prove to the world that he was the most
intelligent individual in existents. To make a long story short we wasted more than $100 on designs then we resolved to do some research then build one of
our own. We spent about 6 months searching before perfecting our aerogenerator, and with a good breeze it will yield more than 1400 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 wind turbine.
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 couldn't decipher most
of the plans that he found either.
Our recently constructed windmill presently stands on the top of a restored television tower spinning out free electricity for our family. Mail us the pics from your finished project and we'll post them to our website!
We have had lots of entertainment building a aerogenerator and we want to share that fun with you. We could have dropped 1000s on a commercial wind
generator but why?
And we give this promise to you: these designs do conform to the above-mentioned demands, and it will require some work on your part.
