Wind Generators Can Create Cheap, Green Energy at Home

[clararobert]

Electric power generated by theThe Backpack Electricity Systemwind is recognized as one of the most efficient and cost effective forms of renewable green energy available for everyday use. From an environmental point of view, with nearly 90% of all electricity generation still coming from polluting sources of energy such as coal, you can help to reduce the impact of global warming by switching all or part of your home or business electricity requirements to environmentally friendly wind power.

With the ever increasing cost of all forms of energy, more radical commentators are even talking about the coming energy crises and how this may lead to energy wars. Imagine trying to run your house or business without power or with very unpredictable power supplies. Some countries have been trying to deal with this problem for many years and without reliable clean energy, what many of us take for granted in our daily lives will become increasingly difficult to maintain.

In some countries including Australia, the United States and some European states, cities and local councils have risen to the challenge and have established substantial 'wind farms' to augment more traditional forms of power generation. A wind farm consists of a series of wind turbine towers which are essentially a windmill which runs an electric generator rather than a water pump. On a smaller scale, a wind generator can really be a viable option for anyone with a small land holding who wishes to reduce those huge power bills or who wants a little slice of 'energy independence'.

Commercial wind turbines have been around for quite a few years and although very efficient and well designed, the initial up-front cost can put many people off. Alternatively, do it yourself or DIY wind generator designs and systems have also become increasingly available over the last few years. As many home handymen have found, the parts required for a wind power system are not that complex and many can be sourced from the local hardware store, auto parts suppliers and surplus stores.

Like me, you may consider yourself a bit of a handyman. With any DIY project you undertake, the key ingredients for success are planning, tools and skill level. There are quite a few DIY wind turbine system designs on the market and most of them include detailed concise instructions and in some cases, video supplements. It is simply a matter of shopping around and checking out what other people are saying about a particular product.
