Did you know that is possible to build a wind generator for your home, and not only that, it is also quite simple to achieve. It is not only easy to build a wind generator, they can be built with using old car parts and bits and pieces that can be bought from a local hardware store so it is really inexpensive to do at the same time. What you must have however, are some quality plans.

If you are considering buying a ready-made wind generator instead of building your own, that's great. Bear in mind though, that it is going to cost you in excess of $2000 to purchase a reliable, sturdy one. If you decide to build a wind generator on your own from a set of plans, it is going to cost you a fraction of the price. Once you have the plans, it will be possible to build quite a number for the same cost as it would for just one ready-made generator.

Wind energy is the fastest growing source of renewable energy around today. In areas of lots of consistent wind, it makes a lot of sense to build a wind generator to harness this free energy that is blowing all around us. If several home made generators are set up in unison in a high wind area, electricity bills are no longer going to be a problem and excess energy can be sold back to utility suppliers for a profit. even in areas of lower annual wind flow, significant saving can be made from installing wind generators.

Best and most probably most important reason to build a wind generator or two for your home, apart from the financial benefit that is felt, is the fact that the environment is benefiting from it. Toxic waste and greenhouse gasses are being reduced. If everybody who could, actually built a wind generator for their home, it would make a huge impact on the environment.

There are many ways to save money and help save the Earth by creating renewable energy, but using the power of free, clean wind must be the ultimate free gift from above.
