Alternative Energy Ideas – Wind Turbines You Build

Posted by outside_voices on Monday, 15 February, 2010

Finding alternative energy sources and implementing them to our homes is on the rise. Wind power and solar energy have become the leaders with wind power coming to the forefront. A big problem facing the majority of homeowners though is the expense associated with commercially built and installed wind turbines. It’s just too expensive!

There is an alternative energy solution to this alternative energy problem though. Build your own!

So…just how do you build a wind turbine? And also, just how much can you really benefit from one?

These were questions that I had asked myself also. So I started searching the Internet and digging deeper into the subject to find out just what is all involved with building a wind generator.

There were several things I found out initially, and the one that stood out the most was that there were several do-it-yourself manuals available that would show you how to build your own alternative energy sources. Mainly, wind turbines and solar panels.

I purchased one of the manuals and found that, firstly, do not fall under the illusion that these are going to take you completely off the grid. It is possible, but not by building and installing just one wind turbine. Combine it with a series of solar panels on your roof-top and then you can start to think about putting a serious dent into your electric bill. Don’t get me wrong, the wind turbines are very effective, but realize that they are more of a supplement of power to your home, and are not the gargantuan wind turbines that you see out on those huge wind farms!

Building the wind turbine itself is quite easy. The directions that you receive from these manuals are very clear and well laid out. I have to admit that I was at first skeptical, but that was before I had really given it a chance. I built my wind turbine and had it installed in about a week’s time. Not the two days that the guide claims, but nonetheless, it goes pretty fast.

Also, some people may think they are receiving a wind turbine kit that includes all of the parts when they purchase these do-it-yourself alternative energy manuals.You do not receive the parts for these turbines when you buy the manual, but the parts are easy to find and you can build a pretty basic operating wind turbine for around $140 to $200.

In the end,  what can I expect by building and installing my own wind turbine?

As I said before, do not expect to power your entire home by building and installing your own personal wind turbine. The advantages are great, but not enough to go off the grid. Depending on the wind that you receive, you should be able to produce enough energy to power your lights and other small appliances. Combine an operating solar panel system along with you wind turbine, and then you can start to consider going “off grid”. Good news is, these wind turbine manuals also include complete instructions showing you how to build and install your own solar power system to your home!

My own experience with building an alternative energy system for my home went quite well, and I am pleased with the results. If you are serious about creating your own alternative energy, would like to learn how to build a wind turbine, or how to build a solar panel, follow the links provided and get started today!

 

 

How to Build Your Own Home Solar Panels

Posted by outside_voices on Friday, 27 November, 2009

New website called Diysolarzone.com for all your Wind & Solar diy requirements

If you have been thinking about acquiring home some solar panels but find it quite expensive, there is something new in store for you. Before, these solar products were unattainable to most people, but now it is so much available to the general public at a cheaper cost.

There is another choice presented to those who have been saving for a starter solar kit, or have assumed that they would be spending their lifesavings to have such technology. Currently, there are two different types of at-home kits that simply turns this into a realistic DIY project.

Without these kits, this technology would remain a very expensive dream for many people. Years of research and development of plans by experts in the field of solar panels are now available in the market to any person who is willing to spend on a reasonably priced initial investment.

Which type of kit you ultimately choose may come down to how capable you are of collecting the supplies you require to create the home solar panels.

Some kits that include instructions and detailed resources for building your own home solar panels, but not the actual supplies will be cheaper than other kits in the market. In these kits, you can anticipate that video instruction and/or wind mill plans will be included as well.

These kits cost much less because you will not be getting all the supplies needed to be able to actually create the home solar panels. You are obtaining the plans and directions on how to build the panels and then you can go to a store and obtain the supplies yourself. The supplies needed don’t involve anything that is too difficult to find for the average individual.

Everything needed to create, from the smallest to the largest piece is included in the other type of kit available. Of course, shipping for these kits will be an extra expense as well, compared to those that have only the plans and instructions which you can download straight away off the website.

Another major difference is in how many kits you would have to buy. Whereas kits that include only the plans and directions are simply an initial investment for you, you can go on making however many home solar panels that you wish.

You may uncover more useful information in some kits than others as well, which is why doing your research into the different kits on the market is so important.

An example of this kind of extra information is that there is one well-known kit in the market Earth4energy that shows you how to get your batteries, that normally cost hundereds of dollars, for free.
 
It is quite simple to put together your own home solar panels, regardless of how you ultimately collect your supplies. You could go for the kit that includes only plans and instructions to make home solar panels if you have access to less expensive materials, or already have some of it at home.
