Chinquapin wind turbine

If we figure out more of our electricy company, we might be able to get a turbine grant. :~)

Small versions of wind turbines

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

Good page that describes what would be good to buy.

More information about wind energy. 

Micro windbelt generator is the cheapest and easiest DIY project ever. Even with its very limited output capacity, small windbelt can be used in situations where other wind generators would normally fail or give no usefull power output. Especially on camping or sailing, windbelt generator can recharge your batteries, cell phone, ipod, radio, small LEDs and much more.

Here's some of the things I was talking about.

This is a good website where you can find different things that we might need for the wind turbine.

Carmen and Miya found this on the Tesla coil

What It Is /// The company, WhalePower, has redesigned the typically smooth blades on a turbine, adding a series of ridges, based on tubercles, the bumps on humpback whale fins. The company says this new blade design could increase annual electrical production for existing wind farms by 20 percent.

From enabling smart buildings to reducing the cost of wind energy,We're researching & developing the world's first non-turbine harvesting technology, the WindbeltTM generator.

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

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.

Start a little more digging, and you can find information on rebates offered by the guv'ment on solarizing your house.
