In the future, all of our energy will come from renewable sources. With traditional gas and energy costs skyrocketing, it is apparent that we need to find new ways to make energy production which are sustainable. We need to change our thought process about how we use the Earth and begin to convert our old energy grid into something sustainable. <\/p>\n

And many have already begun doing so. New engineering ideas are allowing us to produce sustainable energy at less and less cost. <\/p>\n

Using the right set of plans even homeowners who don’t know anything about construction or electricity can build their own alternative energy sources right in their backyards, such as wind power generators.<\/p>\n

Homemade wind turbines can currently generate enough power to reduce the average household’s monthly energy bill by as much as 70% per windmill. With inexpensive plans they can also be built for as little as $200 using some recycled parts.<\/p>\n

They can be built with basic tools and parts from a local hardware store. You can estimate the amount of power a generator creates using the following formula:<\/p>\n

Power(Watts) = (Wind Speed)^3 * (Blade Diameter)^2 * 0.00478<\/p>\n

The speed of the wind is cubed, so it makes the most difference in your power output. For example, if you have a good average wind speed of 10mph and an 8 foot blade diameter, then:<\/p>\n

W = (10*10*10) * (8*8) * 0.00478 = 305 watts\/hour – x 24 hours and you can calculate 7.3 kWh generated per day by a wind power generator.<\/p>\n

On average, an American home might use 14-20 kWh per day. If you start conserving your power, you might use much less depending on the size of your home. Even with little wind speed in your area, you should be able to build a wind turbine that can significantly reduce your power bill for as little as $200. Wind power generators are cost-effective, to be sure.<\/p>\n
