Facts

Wind power is clean energy. Is simply harnessed and transformed into home electricity.

Wind generator is cheap to build and forms a part of your Home Wind Power System.

Wind power generator works by transforming physical motion, natural wind flows over the blades causing rotation and producing free electricity using strong permanent magnets in a DC motor.

The free home electricity produced can then be wired to devices for immediate usage, stored in batteries, or wired back into the power grid.

The Wind Electricity is connected into a home the same way as regular electrical installations through a switching panel.

The wiring inside your home remains the same, and you keep connected to your power company.

Residential Wind Power is used only as an addition to your normal home electricity supply.

Wind power systems are recommended for those on a large block of land in areas that have high winds averaging over 15 miles per hour.

Unless you choose to build your own wind system, wind power system can cost upwards of $5,000.

First off the turbine would power the alternator.

Doesn’t the turbine have a shaft that spins? Mount a pulley on the shaft, use a fan belt to connect the alternator.
