In the last post, I talked about how my husband and I decided we would build our own wind generator after first eliminating other options, which included solar, and hydra power. As previously mentioned, we already had existing solar panels in place, and we debated just putting in more solar panels since we’d already proved [...]

What are wind generator parts and what are their functions? Since ancient times, wind has been considered a major source of energy. Wind has propelled many a ship’s sail, aiding in trade, exploration, and even conquest. It has helped irrigate farmlands and provide power to towns and villages, and continues to do so up to [...]
Because wind is a constantly replenishing resource, as well as being free and accessible everywhere (although cost effectiveness is highest in probability in areas with constant wind supply, with wind speeds averaging at least 12 miles or more), it becomes an efficient, feasible method to produce electricity by using wind generators. In fact, this [...]

If you’re reading this post, you’re probably interested in using a wind generator to power your home, for various reasons. You may want to replace your main source of electricity (electricity providers and companies) for an alternative, renewable source like wind. You may want to reduce your carbon imprint on the environment, in which [...]

With more people realizing the vast potential of renewable energy sources for replacing more mainstream energy sources, a lot of attention is being paid to wind generators for the home. In the past, the traditional use of wind energy was limited to sailboats, or for monstrously big windmills that had heavy blades that turned and allowed [...]
Are all windmill blades created equal? The answer to this is yes, and no. All windmill blades are equal in purpose: they were created so that they could capture wind, to create kinetic energy that is then converted by wind generators into electricity. However, windmill blades are not all equal in design, shape, material, [...]

When talking about wind energy, people immediately envision a windmill. And when it comes to windmills, efficiency is the most important consideration. To increase the efficiency of a certain object, its components must be analyzed and improved to create a more efficient device. The implications of a more efficient wind generator are very important [...]

If you are considering purchasing or building wind generators, it is helpful have more than a passing store of knowledge regarding them. It is quite helpful, for example, to know the difference between a horizontal and vertical wind generator, which ones are best for home use, or what their parts are called. It is [...]
