Wind Mill Kits - Which Are The Alternatives Right Now?
If you are investing time in thinking through what renewable fuel sources you can utilize at home
, wind turbine kits are certainly already in your field of vision. The wind is probably the most visible of the sustainable fuel sources in most locations.
There are 3 types of do-it-yourself wind turbines plans of action you should consider:
1. Purchase a set of plans and do it all yourself - this is really for someone who has a lot of time and enjoys scavenger hunts. This is probably the cheapest route to go in any case. The problem with this alternative however, is that you've got to go and find all the parts for your wind turbine. This can take some time. You are also running the risk of purchasing the wrong part and then having to go back later and find the right thing. If you have got a lot of time to do this, this approach could be the most rewarding though. You can get plans for wind turbine kits on the Internet for less than $10 in some cases.
2. Buy a video product like Earth4Energy and see someone building a turbine visually - this is a good middle of the road approach where you are still going out to find the parts, but you have the guidance and visual assist to help it all contextually make sense. This is a good hybrid method. You are really getting the best of both worlds here because you are operating from a set of plans but you're also getting to see how someone else completed their project. Visualizing what actually happens is a big part of making a project like this simple.
3. Wind turbine kits - almost right out of the box, you can be making power. They are much cheaper than traditional wind turbines purchased through a dealer. Buying a kit to make your wind turbine device is the best way to go of all, I feel. The reason is that all the parts come to you ready to install. There is no blindly seeking the correct part. There is no going and spending your weekend trying to find a piece of the lowest possible price. All that time you're spending working on optimizing the cost of your wind device you could be actually making wind energy if you completed the project earlier.
In the final analysis, consider these 3 options when you are considering wind turbine kits and make a decision which way to go based on your temperament and how deeply you like to get involved in home projects.
