Synopsis:
Have you ever wondered how wind turbines work and why they look like they do? Are you interested in adding wind power to your off-grid electric system, but have been put off by the high cost of equipment and installation? Well, now you can build and install your own wind turbine! Harnessing the wind can be a tricky business, but in this groundbreaking book the authors provide step-by-step, illustrated instructions for building a wind generator in a home workshop. Even if you don't plan on building your own turbine, this book is packed with valuable information for anyone considering wind energy. It covers the basic physics of how the energy in moving air is turned into electricity, and most importantly, will give you a realistic idea of what wind energy can do for you--and what it can't.
About the Author: Authors Dan Bartmann and Dan Fink have been building wind turbines for years to help power the remote, off-grid mountain community in which they both live. They have been giving hands-on seminars on wind turbine building for students for 4 years, and their acclaimed website Otherpower.com is one of the most popular homebrew, do-it-yourself renewable energy destinations on the internet.
