A DIY wind turbine generator has the ability to power your entire home, and then some. And building and installing one is not as difficult or expensive as you might think.

It is a really cool feeling to look out your window and see the blades on the DIY wind turbine generator spinning around. It is your creation that you brought to life,DIY Wind Turbine Generator – Using Wind To Power Your Home Articles and there is no feeling like it. Those blades that are turning in the breeze is creating its own electricity. And that same electricity is powering your refrigerator, the TV, and just about everything else in your home.

There is also no feeling like getting the electric bill in the mail and realizing that you have actually been paid for the electricity that you have provided the power grid.

That is what you can feel each and every month when you build a DIY wind turbine generator to power your home.

Yes, you can build two or three wind turbines to produce enough energy to actually provide your power grid with electricity.

But even better is you will no longer be at the mercy of your power company. No more rolling brown-outs. No more power outages due to a downed power line miles away from where you live.

No more unreliable power…period.

This is what you can look forward to when you build your own power generator that is powered by the wind.

And you do not need a gusty breeze to produce the electricity. As long as the blades are being turned, you will be producing energy for your own personal use.

So, you are probably thinking that it is going to be an expensive investment.

Not so. For under 200 dollars, you can have everything you need to build and install the turbine. You will probably have to order the motor, but other than that, you can run to your local hardware store for the other parts.

Heck, you might even have most of them already stashed away somewhere in your garage or shed.

Just imagine taking a Saturday to build and install the wind turbine, and later that evening, you will be producing your own power. There are no overly complicated instructions in building one. As long as you have a quality set of plans, you should have no problem building it in less than a day.

Talk about being the envy of the neighborhood. Your neighbors will be astonished to learn that you have harnessed the power of the wind and energize your home without the help of the power company.

And as energy rates continue to skyrocket, you will be set free from the grasp of high electric bills. Knowing that you will never need to rely on the power company for energy is a liberating feeling.

And what is really cool is when you are producing so much energy that you can tap into the grid and supply your neighbors with electricity. Most states in the U.S. allow you to do this. But even if you are unable to get paid for supplying power to the grid, you will be able to save yourself those monthly utility bills that keep getting more expensive.

There is nothing like being able to supply your own power, and nothing like harnessing the power of the wind. Free energy made possible by your own wind turbine.
