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. |

All critical parts and angles are printed at actual size (1:1) in both 3D and plan views, and are fully dimensioned. Critical assemblies like the frame with furling tail system, blades, tail boom, and alternator are shown in 3D perspective drawings to quickly answer questions during welding and fab- rication.
