Chinquapin wind turbine

Small versions of wind turbines

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

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

More information about wind energy. 

Good page that describes what would be good to buy.

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

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.

Created: "July 29 2007" Update: "July 6 2008" This is a Design for a Vertical Windmill for Generating Electric Power. Although this is just a proto-type and not even completed, it shows real promise. I Believe that this is a Practical Method to generate Really FREE POWER.

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

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

would need two to save energy with an inverter.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
