You may have heard that by building a homemade wind generator you can save yourself quite a bit of money. I remember when I learned I could I was pretty happy, but I was also worried that it might be a little too technical for me.
You see, I’m not the most handy guy in the world. I can do basic repairs around the house and change the oil in a car, but building a wind generator seemed to be beyond my technical abilities.
I decided that I needed help with this project and purchased a set of plans. They were literally a god send! I could see from the pictures and drawings that it wasn’t as hard as I thought.
To start out with you’re going to need to build your blades. If you’re on a tight budget (like I was) you can use PVC for the blades. Once you have some extra money I highly recommend buying a set of aluminum or stainless steel blades because the amount of power you produce will go way up.
To make PVC blades all you really need to do is is cut a blade shape. Each pipe can make three blades… which is exactly how many you need.
After the blades are cut it’s time to make the body. I used a piece of 2″ x 4″ that was 16″ long. I mounted the motor on the from with steel strapping. Another, larger diameter piece of PVC was used to make the housing. This was screwed on to the 2″ x 4″. The purpose of the housing is simply to protect your motor from getting wet.
Now it was time to make the tail. For this I used a piece of plexiglass cut into a triangle shape and some wood dowel. This was attached to the body and I was ready to balance the blades.
You’ll need to connect the blades to your hub and mount that on your motor so you can balance the blades. If you don’t balance them there’s a high risk that one of them will break.
Balancing the blades is simply a matter of spinning them and marking down which one ends up on the bottom. Remove a little bit from that blade and repeat the process until the blade on the bottom is pretty random.
After setting the tower up it was time to get the wind generator up on top of the tower so I could start producing electricity.
A few hours later the wind started blowing and the blades starting turning! I was extremely happy with my homemade wind generator. It wasn’t difficult to build yet it saved me 30% of my electric bill in the first month.
