Home Wind Generator.
A home wind generator can be one of the easiest ways to help control your monthly energy bills. They are simple devices that cost, as a general rule, less money than many solar energy systems. While these home wind systems are still in their infancy, their potential is unlimited.
The average home wind generator currently available uses a gearbox as a means of converting wind energy into electricity. These gearboxes tend to make these turbines more expensive, but there are alternatives on the horizon. At least one manufacturer is creating a turbine that uses magnets instead of a gearbox, thereby reducing the overall cost.
Another problem common to the home wind generator is that they often require higher wind speeds than are typical of a lot of suburban areas of the country. This has been one of the major drawbacks of most wind systems up to this point. However, many companies are working on designs for the future that are capable of generating electricity even at wind speeds of less than three miles per hour.
