What is your first impression of wind turbines? Do you think that the people who make them must be highly qualified technicians who have studied for donkey's years?
What would you think, if one of your neighbours said that they were going to assemble their own wind turbines in order to produce their own electricity?
The fact is that it is not actually all that difficult to make a wind turbine. You certainly do not have to have been to college to do it and you do not have to be an amateur electrician either. You will, however, need a good set of drawings in order to put up an operational wind turbine.
There are various sources of plans for wood turbines. You could go to a hobbyist shop, a DIY store or the Internet. If you search on the Internet, search for a web site specializing in alternative energy technology.
Once you have you instruction booklet, handbook or drawings for making wind turbines, you ought to study it well and get any queries you have answered on forums on the Internet.
If you believe that I am exaggerating how easy it is to build wind turbines, do not forget that people have been building windmills and water pumps for hundreds of years without the benefit of power tools or contemporary materials.
The only dissimilarity between those early devices and wind turbines for making electricity is the addition of wiring and a coil, which you will buy anyway.
The basics of building a wind turbine include building a tower to place it on; installing batteries to receive the generated power; the fan and the tail assemblies. The tools that you will need to achieve this are pretty simple too: bricklaying tools, carpentry tools and a few spanners, but that really depends on how much you sub-contract out.
You will almost certainly have to buy the turbine, fan and tail section yourself as one unit, because, if you want a high-powered unit, this section will need to be professional, not that it cannot be manufactured locally.
You will be able to maintain it yourself as well, if you want. These fan blades can be 1.2 metres (4 feet) in length each, which is something that you will have to keep in mind when constructing your tower.
You may need a bit of professional help when you construct your first turbine, but use the experience to learn as much as you can, so that you will be able to be more independent on your next one. You could even turn the experience into a profession, because there is a chronic shortage of people who know anything about wind turbines.
