Our Home Wind Turbine

Showing off the new wind generator!

I was originally going to place the wind generator on our roof, but my wife discovered my plans and said "HELL NO!". I had to settle for a mini tower (a lame pole) on the side of our property.

I got the wind turbine from Joe at JL Energy: http://www.youtube.com/user/hooptejoe THANKS MAN!

And yes I spelled "complement" wrong in the video!!!

How about a windcatcher that is shaped like a double helix and mounted vertically.. It would be omnidirectional/not have to face the wind. Couple it to the turbine with a centrifugal clutch.

Paul, Sounds like a cool idea. but maybe a little too advanced of a project for myself, Im just trying not to burn the house down! Definitely worth looking into though. Thanks!

Maybe you should cut the trees down, they're in your way blocking the wind. We should also promote clear cutting, the forest animals are tired of always being in the shade they want a little sunlight.

Nice Video

Add More Blades And Keep Blade Lenth Under 40" You Should Get More RPMs , More Volts More Amps.

Neat video. Time to build a bigger turbine to feed that crack addiction.
