3 Critical Elements For Successfully Making A Homemade Windmill}

Submitted by: Nick Wood

For the DIY man who is looking to build a homemade windmill, it can seem like a daunting task. But with the cost of energy bills always on the increase, its becoming more essential to look at renewable sources of energy, such as wind, to meet your home energy needs. In this article you will discover 3 critical things that everyone needs to know (or should know) before attempting to build your own windmill from home.

Research the Amount of Wind in Your Area

Before you should even considering building your own homemade windmill, you need to see if its worth your time. Of course if you are only looking to make homemade windmills for fun, then go ahead. But if you want to generate wind power for homes then it is essential to find out how much wind your area gets.

Why? Thats simple, when you make your own homemade windmill generator the more wind your area gets, the more power you will be able to generate from your residential wind turbine. This is very important as the more power generated, the more useable energy you can make. So wind maps are a simple and easy way to work out the average wind speed in your area. Based on this information you can work out how much wind energy you will be able to generate.

Find Good Quality Practical Instructions

Once you have determined that making a windmill is worth your while, now its time to find out how to make a homemade windmill. Now obviously dont just go to your garage or DIY workshop and go to work, thinking that you will just work out how to build one. You might to successful but why make things hard for yourself. What I recommend to do is to find good quality (something what actually works) and practical (shows you details of how to do it) information about making your homemade windmill.

So obviously a few basic components are necessary for making your homemade windmill, such as a generator and the wind turbine blades. But follow a guide that includes details about these and the other components needed and how to assemble them together. This way your chances of success will be much greater.

Seek Professional Advice When Needed

Of course your homemade windmill (if constructed properly) is generating real energy which means electricity. Now this may sound simple and basic but the fact is that, if you are not a qualified electrician or someone who knows what they are doing, it can be dangerous. Even if your windmill is only generating a small amount of electricity, it could still give you a nasty shock.

Of course you are responsible for your own actions. But I will say that if you are considering connecting your windmill up to a main power supply for wind power generation, then only let a qualified person do this, for obvious safety reasons.

Final Important Point…

Even though the 3 critical elements above are a good starting point for your build, what are the exact step by step details needed to make a homemade windmill?
