Homemade wind generators are becoming an increasingly popular way to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and reduce increasing utility bills by generating electricity for direct use in the home or other properties.A wind generator needs to be supported by a tower, which will raise it to a level where its blades can be rotated by the wind most efficiently.
Instructions
Make the body of the wind generator with a piece of 2 by 4, approximately one yard in length. To one end of the 2 by 4, attach a rectangular piece of plastic or metal to act as a sail, swiveling the blades towards the wind.To the other end of the 2 by 4, attach the motor. Cover the motor with some plastic sheeting to protect it from the weather. Drill a hole in the wood behind the motor for the wires to run through. To the motor at this end of the 2 by 4, attach the blade section of the wind turbine.All of these components together will sit on top of the tower; the tower raises the turbine above obstructions and allows it to generate electricity from the power of the wind.
Construct the tower for the wind generator using a pipe; the wires from the motor can run through a hollow pipe.The size and strength of the pipe required for the tower will vary depending on the height of the tower; taller wind generators will require a wider pipe to support it, wind generators installed on a roof will only require a narrower and shorter pipe.
The tower for the wind turbine both raises the turbine above other obstructions, so making it more efficient, and with this design, allows the wind turbine to turn to face the wind. This tower also protects the wires running from the main body of the wind generator to the battery.
Attach the tower to the tail of the wind generator. Secure a pipe bracket, slightly larger than the pipe used for the tower, underneath the hole drilled in the 2 by 4 for the wires. Slot the tower pipe into this bracket; the smaller pipe will allow the tail of the wind generator to pivot the blades towards the wind.
Secure the other end of the tower pipe to a large piece of wood acting as the base to the wind generator. The wood used for the base should be large in order to securely anchor the wind generator. If possible, screw the base into the ground or surface that the wind generator is on for extra stability.
Run the wires from the tower to the battery. House the battery in a place where it will be protected from the weather, for example in a shed. Connect the positive and negative wires to the corresponding electrodes on the battery. The electricity generated by the wind generator will be stored in the battery until use.
