A Number Of Approaches To Get In Trouble Making Your Own Wind Turbine

In making your own wind turbine, their ways do it right in there are ways to do it wrong

. Because of the euphoria surrounding getting a new fun device like this, it is easy to get to aggressive on the front and jump in the middle of things before you really understand what you need to do.

Thus, it behooves you to carefully think through the things that can cause you a problem and make sure you don't do them:

* The biggest mistake that many people make is putting their wind turbine in a place that looks good but doesn't have enough wind to support it. In order to maximize your electricity output, you need to check out at least several locations on your property and determine what the wind speed and direction is on average. That way, you understand what your choices are. The particular location will determine exactly what kind of wind turbine and what size you need to make the most of that situation. For example, the strongest wind on anyone's property is usually located high above the tree line. You can have a situation when it is very turbulent on your roof not more than 10 miles an hour, and then go up 30 feet above the tree line, and have a wind that's there be three times that fast. That of course can make a tremendous difference in the amount of electricity that you can make. However, it is tremendously more expensive to put a turbine up that high. You have to have a substantial tower that is well anchored to the ground - probably a permit and a large foundation poured for it.

* Another mistake people make is not checking in with their local municipal government and make sure they have satisfied all permitting requirements. Most all local areas will have some type of restriction regarding windmills. Either how high they can be mounted or how far away from your neighbor's property line they can be installed. Some even regulate the distance from the edge of the roof that you can mount your turbine at.

* The last major mistake many people make is trying to take on too much of the work for themselves. Depending on how you good you are at do-it-yourself home projects, this may be right up your alley, but you must be careful not take on more than you can actually do. Your objective is to get a wind turbine up and running and producing electricity. So, the quickest way to do that is usually the best. The wind turbine will start paying for itself very fast once the blades are turning.

In making your own wind turbine, it is very important to make sure you do the right thing, but it is also equally important to make sure you don't do the wrong things that slow down and sometimes even derail these projects.
