Wind energy is a great renewable source of energy to power your home. Now that energy prices are rising, and are only set to continue rising, there has never been a better time to further explore the great benefits wind energy has to offer. Wind generators for the home are becoming more and more accepted, however, they are still on the costly side and it can take a long time to see any monetary returns. This article will explain how you can build your own free wind generator.

Wind power has been around for decades but it has only recently been developed for home use. Using the wind to generate your energy needs has become a lot easier to do, especially with the development of new technology. Everybody has the ability to create a free wind generator with the right know how and materials. Free wind generators can even be built with recyclable home appliances.

Wind generators for the home can be made to any size, but usually it is best to start off small and simple, then gradually work your way up to meet your energy needs. As stated above, many of these wind generators can be built for free using recycled home materials such as old water buffs, flag poles or washing line poles. However, even if you don’t have these items most of the tools needed can be bought for under $100. Compared to commercially available wind generators, this is a significant saving.

Building a free wind generator requires a little bit of pre-planning. If you want your generator to work at its most efficient you will need to work out where the best place to put it is. This will be where there is the highest average wind speed. This can be worked out using an Anemometer (a device used to measure average wind speeds) and placing it at different locations around your property. You will also need to consider what type of free wind generator to us: Horizontal or Vertical Wind Generators. This will make a difference in terms of power output and space needed to construct the wind generator. Other than that, you will need plans to build your free wind generator.

So there you have it, a quick insight into how you can build your very own free wind generator to reduce those expensive energy bills. These can be DIY Vertical Wind Generators or Horizontal Wind generators to suit your needs
