There is no feeling like generating your own electricity for your home. Knowing that you are no longer at the mercy of the grid is a liberating feeling. And a DIY wind power generator will allow you to do just that.

Whether you want to just supplement your power or get off the grid forever, this renewable energy source will provide you with reliable and consistent power for your home.

There are no special tools or supplies needed to build the turbine. For less than 200 dollars, you can have everything you need to build and install it in less than a weekend.

The only component that you will probably need to order will be the motor. The other materials to build the wind generator can be easily found at your local hardware store.

Just imagine waking up every morning and turning on the lights. That electricity flowing through your home is being supplied by the wind turbine in your backyard. How cool is that?

Imagine never having to worry about brown-outs or unreliable power. No more hours upon hours of electrical interruption from a blown transformer on the other side of town.

And not only will you be saving money on utility bills, you will be saving the environment as well. Renewable energy is going to become even more popular and in demand as energy rates keep rising.

Conservative projections predict a rise in energy rates as much as 200 percent over the next 10 years. 200 percent!

Do you really want to be at the mercy of the power company and the grid as the rates keep skyrocketing? And the power is likely going to become even more unreliable as the demand increases over those 10 years.

There is no better time than the present to build and install your own DIY wind power generator. Even if you are only able to supplement your energy needs, you will be able to curb the rising costs of energy and lower your utility bills.

But here is the really cool part. Once you build one, why not build one or two more? Being able to power the entire house with your own personal energy generators will allow you to get off then grid once and for all.

You might even find that you will be producing more electricity than your home can use, and this is where the turbine can start paying you.

Yes, stay connected to the grid and send some of that extra power back to the grid. Supplying your neighbors with electricity and being paid for it is something that is possible, even likely when you are generating enough power.

Imagine standing outside in the breeze and watching the blades on your DIY wind power generator spinning around. Those blades are capturing the wind and turning it into energy. Energy that is powering your home and everything in it.

It truly is an amazing feeling to produce your own electricity.
