Small Wind Turbine Manufacturers
How hard is it to build a wind turbine for home?
For a 5 month project at school I have to build a wind turbine for my home. How many hours will it take, will I get an efficent gadget, and how much will it cost? I’m thinking of getting help from a small wind turbine manufacturer. And I would just like to say my motor skills are very poor and I am not used to building things. Can I do it?
you can get kits.
However you need permission of your zoning board before you can do this, if it is any size at all.
But you can get small 1-2 ft kits. First reference is a 12″ one, but a toy, for $40. Second one is a 46″ 400 watt one that looks real and has a generator. You still need a battery and inverter. $630.
