Treat this as a fun project. Something you can do with friends, or maybe even get your kids involved. Not only will you be saving a load on your electricity bills, but you'll be educating your children in the process.
- Conserve energy by using natural power. Wind power is a renewable resource, so your wind turbine can generate FREE power for many years.
- Fun for the family, or fun for yourself! How many people do you know who can say they use wind power to help power things around there home?
- Great way to join the "green" movement.
- You can save a lot of money each month on your power bill. If you live in a rural area, you can build multiple wind turbines, giving you the ability to power your entire home and everything in it!
- Finally, you can use recycled items to help build your turbine, therefore contributing to saving the earth. Not only that, but materials can be purchased for less than a couple hundred bucks, all from your local hardware store!
"What Options Do I Have?"
There are a number of guides I would recommend for this project. To be honest, I've read all 3 and there isn't a huge difference between them, so download which ever one takes your fancy. I've listed them in order of popularity though. Earth4Energy does probably offer the best post-sales support via a members-only forum.
