If you are anxious to lower your carbon footprint and at the same time cut your electricity bills as well, having a wind turbine to generate electricity to power your home could be the answer you have been searching for.  Renewable energy options are rapidly becoming the choice of many home owners these days, particularly in the face of ever increasing electricity bills. And as oil and coal become harder to find and extract in the next ten years, the prices of traditional electricity can only increase a lot more!

Up and till very recently, the costs of installing wind powered generators has been extremely costly, with small turbines designed for home power needs costing anywhere between $2,000 and $10,000.  Obviously these kinds of prices just have not made good economic sense.

But now you have another viable option that is dramatically cheaper, the option to actually make your own homemade wind generator.  For just a few bucks you can now buy very detailed, easy to follow manuals that show you literally step by step, how to build a windmill.

The best DIY guide on the web without a shadow of a doubt, is the best selling Earth4Energy.Earth4Energy is actually in the form of video tutorials and not a traditional manual.  The videos are very easy to follow, and are extremely comprehensive, covering the whole process, including how and where to buy or beg your components from cheaply, through to the actual generator build and installation.

If you follow the instructions in the videos, you realistically should be able to construct a reasonable sized home wind turbine for around the $250 mark.  You’ll soon recoup your investment costs when the electricity bills stop dropping in your mailbox!  Of course there will be some additional costs.You will have to find a qualified electrician to wire up your new wind generator to your home's mains network, and also you should consider installing a battery pack also to store the excess electricity generated, so that you have continuity of supply when your local winds are not strong enough to turn your windmill.

All things considered, the Earth4Energy product really is excellent quality and also very well priced!
