DIY Wind Power
by Sean Fisher, Cincinnati, Ohio on 01.31.06
The last time we heard the name Ben Jandrell, he was wiring solar cordless headphones in our DIY Eco-Tech contest. Well, Ben is back with a great resource for DIY TreeHuggers - his site gotwind.org. Here, you can find pictures, descriptions, instructions and even videos for DIY wind generators and other "small scale renewable energy." Gotwind.org is in its infancy, so unfortunately there are only a handful of projects available, but we are hoping with continued success, Ben will be able to expand the site's contents and provide more detailed step-by-step processes. However, if you have the technical prowess and an interest in small scale wind power, this is certainly a good way to get started. ::Gotwind.org
Dear Sir,
I am very much interested to receive the details.
With best regards

i am interested in this stuff, but how long will this take to make?
Regards,

Hi sir,
may i get the instructions to build it up by myself
I had six giant wind generators put on the adjacent property without notification from the planning committee, Read Lincoln County Wisconsin's 2001 study on wind and you can see why at 58 I will be homeless. There are so many things wrong with wind as power. Solar is so much less intrusive/
The damage they do is so great and the way they put them in rural areas along the hills and cliffs, the way they tear up over 20 miles of roads, and use so many other distructive ways to ensure they get that 350 million from the goverment is a sin. We have very little money in Union Oregon to fight these monsters.
the expensive part of building these "windyGens" is the Magnets and "enameled copper wire" I built the coils and wired them and molded them in resin then fell out with the wife and my Son (god bless him ) dumped the Magnets..said it took him ages to prize them loose from the metal frame of the traylor?!?!?!?
Young, first-time home owner in search of renewable energy source utilization and storage - a DIY nightmare of a commitment.
