The first thing you need to do is figure out how big of a wind generator you need. Most wind generators that are over 1000 watts in generating power are quite a bit more difficult to build. You will need to have your wind generator 15 feet above any obstruction within 300 feet. That is a must.
Some great resources exist but probably reading an article or two about building wind generators would help a lot. Try the resource I listed for a very informative article, there is mention of a website in the article where you can find some great wind generator plans too. Hope this helps, we have built 3 wind generators so far with these plans.
A daunting task !! Are you talking about actually hand-wiring a generator?? Or taking common materials and building one??
Up at the ranch, we use an old wind-generator from our old sailboat… we mounted it on a pole, rigged it to a battery storage system, and now operator emergency lighting off it during the winter.
Others here gave you good links to resources.
I am with Amber I live on a windy hilltop and have looked into them. Too many years to pay back the investment as far as I am concerned. But still thinking about it.
Eat lots and lots of beans that usually generates alot of wind,
