Sandy F asked:
Can I really build home wind generator? How one can find plans or has anybody learned to build one and can show me how to make. The price of the plans should be cheap so we can show our characteristic…

Sure you can build a wind generator Sandy. Our family has built 3 wind generators now and learning how to build a wind generator is not really that difficult.
First you need to know if it is worth it? Do you have a windy location that has a good site for wind? You will need to get your wind generator up 15 feet above the nearest obstruction within 300 feet.
It takes about a week of work to build one so be prepared for some work, The blades take the longest but we have found a resource that uses PVC for the blades that is easier. And you can use a simple DC motor for the generator. The plans are pretty easy to follow too.
