subject: Wind Generator Kits - 2 Strategies To Make Them Work Every Time [print this page] If you are looking into home energy production, wind turbine kits definitely need to be one of your options. There are distinct advantages of going the kit route that I will explain.
Home energy production is our way out of the energy crisis. There doesn't seem to be any easy way out of the mess we have created with burning a finite fuel supply to make our power.
But, we do know the answer lies in decentralizing the production of that power. If we continue to rely on large companies that only want to show a profit in the current quarter to do our thinking for us, then we are going to run out of the fuel that runs our lives before they make any changes.
Because of their cost, when looking into to home wind turbine kits it is important to maximize the amount of energy you make with them. To do that you need to put them in just the right place on your property.
If you live in a big city, your only choice may be to locate the turbine on your roof. But that is ok - the roof can be a great place to make power.
In any event, the way to get a handle on where and what you need is to do a little research on your property. You need to take some wind data and let that drive you to the optimal type of wind device and where to locate it.
Here are the 2 things you need to do to make decisions and move ahead to purchase one:
Analyze how the wind flows on your property - this is easily accomplished with the aid of an anemometer. This will allow you to collect data on wind speed and direction over a period of time. The way you do it is simply mount the anemometer as you would wind turbine in the location that you want to test. Then, you can analyze the data that you collect with the aid of your computer.
Check out local rules regarding wind turbines - believe it or not, everyone does not have the same affection for wind turbines that you and I have. Many neighborhoods ban them altogether but is lot more common for local municipalities to simply regulate where they under our install them how high they are installed.
Finally, wind turbine kits are the best way we as homeowners have of taking control of our energy futures.
