Wind Generator Plans
“You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars to harness wind energy. Matter of fact, the guides and products below will save you tons of money.”
These are some great commercial deals that I’ve found atm. It would be hard to buy the materials to fabricate them for these prices. These are great deals, and the VAWT comes with a charge controller! The plans are reviewed below.
If you’re looking for a simple approach that doesn’t cost a lot to set up, then these plans are great. If you’re looking for a wind generator system that’s already built for you, then click on the images above. Those are great price per watt systems.
The DIY wind generator plans below show you how to put up an entire wind generator system on a shoestring budget. They also hold a lot of “going green” tips, from people who live off of the grid.
If you’re completely new to wind energy and want to know if wind energy will work for you, I highly recommend Hugh Piggots book.
- Wind generator construction (Simple but extremely effective)
- Charge controller (To control your excess electricity)
- Battery bank (Never fear a power outage)
- Tower (Where to find them for free and how to install them)
- Hook up (Safely connect your system)
- Free calculation tools! (If you’re not sure which system is right for you)

If you’ve seen other wind generator projects online that have complete setups for generating, storing and using charge controllers for wind powered systems, it was this guide. It’s popular because it’s the same price as similar guides yet there is awesome support for the projects. They simply want you to succeed with your wind power system. There’s plenty of step by step tutorials and illustrations, along with videos of how to set up a system from scratch. You also get support contact information that actually gets answered. This is a great current guide for producing ample electricity.

With the addition of the video tutorials, and improved support, these wind generator plans have improved.
Earth4Energy has a great looking front page, and you would think that this guide has everything that you would want to get off the grid… The biggest let down is there is no customer support. This guide does work, and it’s full of great illustrations with step by step guides, followed by video instructions. The guide on how to get deep cycle batteries is worth more than 5x this guides cost, but you can get the same information at Build a Wind Generator for half the price. What I didn’t like, besides lack of customer support, was the forum and the product freebies.

This guide has a lot of information and safety tips. This guide is full of videos and illustrations. This is a straight forward guide and you get what they say you’ll get. This guide is more for solar power than wind generators. There is nothing misleading, it just lacks the information on how to get discount materials for wind generators, but it’s excellent for solar power. This ups the cost of implementing DIY electricity, other than that this is a decent guide. A lot of the details necessary to complete a wind generator system are left out, and the guide is not as detailed as Build a Wind Generator.

Review:
Energy 2 Green contains a lot of the renewable energy industry information. They could have spent less time explaining the renewable energy industry and more time on how to implement their systems. The content was light and there were no videos. There were illustrated guides, but if your going to spend $49.95 on a guide, you’d be better off purchasing one of the above guides. Their systems do work, but there could have been less fluff and more how to. You’ll get the best bang for your buck elsewhere, , but still it comes with a money back guarantee, like all of the products reviewed.

You no what this stuff works GREAT.
It really does, just wish other people would find out more about it.
I’m just getting into bio diesel and wondering what to do with the by products.
I’m starting to build an approximately 3000 square foot home on a 20 acre tract outside Nashville which in general averages 9 MPH wind velocity ( have not checked actual site ) Construction will be in phases : the first phase is a 3 vehicle garage with a 1200 sq ft apartment above . Next year Phase 2 includes an adjoining 2600 sg ft home .
We are also adding a 1 acre pond . Phase 3 ( 3-4 years from now ) is a 6 stall barn with build out for an apartment or game room above .
All advice on resources to consult about wind and solar or energy efficiency in general appreciated .
I like what I read here about wind Generators. How do I get this materials in Kenya, E. Africa?
send me the details to make like a project
I have a very keen interest in this space.
In fact, I have recently posted an article that speaks to this.
Check it out here:
The Basics of Homemade Electricity
Thanks,

can i use a car alternator,a batery to run a twelve volts motor and and belt to connect the two and generate power like a car does. pse reply
There are lot of ways to have your own homemade electricity. I made one article also that will help you a lot for you to have your own electricity source at home.

Nice post!
Thanks,

Wind-powered generator is indeed very helpful to us. It gives life long benefits and very environmental friendly. I have developed a keen interest in this entire area. I find it very interesting how many people are so passionate about alternative and green energy sources.

Car alternators take a high rpm to generate electricity, their not a good choice for wind generators. You would have to build a large pully to get the right ratio, but you’d loose a lot of potential energy in the design. Instead of a car alternator look for low rpm high dc output motors. Ametek is a popular one and can easily be found on E-Bay around $40. I can guarantee you can find one for free from Craigslist. You just have to know what to look for and be willing to take apart an appliance or fitness machine. Treadmills are a good place to look for motors suitable for wind generators.
Yes you can absolutely put a 12v battery on the end of a generator, but go with deep cycle. Windplans the guide I ranked #1 shows you how to get deep cycle batteries for free.
Hey,
Love your article, thank you for writing this.

p.s. I just wrote one as well here at homemade electricity.
i am krishnaprasad from kerala,india. if you can get some more detai for made a smoll homemade windmill.
I need to make a wind powered water pump. Is there any plans available for that?
thanks Chris
How much water do you need to move? Is it for irrigation of crops?
Search the posts for “PMG” and you’ll get all the free information to make a permanent magnet generator for about $150.
