another video showing how to build a wind turbine. Not professionally done!

I think its important because it gives us step by step instructions.

Several years ago I bought some remote property in Arizona. I am an astronomer and wanted a place to practice my hobby far away from the sky-wrecking light pollution found near cities of any real size. I found a great piece of property. The problem is, it's so remote that there is no electric service available.

A good website to give us an idea on how to build it and what the price range may be

Windmills are rather simple machines powered by wind energy. Wind turbines make use of wind to turn rotating blades. In earlier times, windmills were used to produce energy to grind grain and pump water. Nowadays, windmills are used to turn wind energy into usable (electricity) energy by making use of its rotating blades.

How to measure the performance of a wind turbine. The people that sign up to measure the performance of a wind turbine should check it out. The people with the electrical connections should also check it out since it talks about it a bit.

Carmen and Miya found this on the Tesla coil

Micro windbelt generator is the cheapest and easiest DIY project for generation of wind energy. Even with its limited output capacity, small wind-belt can be used in situations where other wind generators would normally give no useful power output. Especially while camping or sailing, windbelt generator can recharge your batteries, cell phone, ipod, radio, small LEDs and much more.

Step by step pictures and descriptions for a 1000 watt wind turbine

It looks like a good idea, but don't know how much it will cost.

Everything you may need to build a wind turbine, for dummies.

NOTE: THE MAKE MAGAZINE ARTICLE SHOWS THE BLADES BEING CUT FOR A CW ROTATION. IF YOU ARE USING THE TREADMILL MOTOR MENTIONED IN THE ARTICLE PLEASE CUT THE BLADES PER THE WEBSITE INSTRUCTIONS. Wind power is abundant, clean, inexpensive and easy to do.

This is perfect it tells us exactly how to do it and its for High School students so it is not so complicated... We will be there soon.
