Homemade windmill

Some of the existing windmill power systems are very expensive to purchase, not to mention the installation and maintenance. This fact keeps people away from generating their own power through wind energy.

There are a growing number of low cost wind power systems which people can build themselves and cost just a few hundred dollars.

Windstuffnow provides a lot information about wind systems. They start with detailed explanations of a basic wind system and take you all the way through a Three Phase Turbine Kit.

The “Builders Corner” of Windstuffnow presents kits for every requirement. I was especially interested in the Dual Rotor alternator kit.

Building your own wind turbine is a cost effective and interesting challenge that could lead you to creating your own homemade windmill.

Kind regards

Did you already build your own windmill, I'd love to see a picture of it!

I recently saw a TED video on William Kamkwamba who (while only 14 years old) build his familily awindmill in Africa. Very inspiring. You can see it here: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/william_kamkwamba_on_building_a_windmill.html

Warm regards,

Emke
