Homeowners are experiencing a steady rise in energy bills due to raised prices on electricity. To combat this growing problem, homeowners may purchase new, more efficient appliances. They also may begin turning off energy draining items during the day time or using their appliances at off-peak energy hours when costs are lower.

Enterprising do-it-yourselfers may wish to take their energy efficiency to the next level and generate it themselves on their own land. Installing a windmill can generate enough electricity to power a single family home in suitable conditions. In excellent conditions, a wind generator can exceed the electrical needs of the home and electricity can be sold back to the local utilities company which will then issue the homeowners a check for the overage.

Do I Have Space for a Personal Wind Farm?

Windmills are available in two basic designs: propeller style and “egg-beater”. Propeller style windmills are the most commonly recognized, constructed of two or three paddle shaped rotors on the end of a tall pole. “Egg-beater” windmills use two blades that curve around the central pole and are welded to the top and bottom of the machine. They turn in a cylindrical manner around the center pole when the wind blows.
