  1. The Danish manufacturer Vestas manufactures wind turbines from 500 Kilowatts to over 4 Gigawatts; but have you any idea of price?  Also when there is no wind you need a back up system.


  2. You absolutely can if you are willing to have battery backup or be hooked up on the grid for the calm days.  I have a 20kw windmill and I have the power company paying me about $100 for my extra electricity every month.  My house is 2000 sq ft and I have a family of 5 so I use about 700 kw hours per month (a lot more than you will use with what you have listed)

  3. If you have strong steady wind, maybe.  If the wind is not constant, you may need battery back-up (or some other energy storage system) and a larger turbine.  If you get even less wind, you may wish to consider sun, or some other energy source.

  4. Fridge 1200 watts

    TV 300 Watts

    Lights 480 watts total.

    Fans 1500 watts total

    This is a total of 3500 watts.  

    The max power from wind is Mdot * Velocity

    1.2*kg/m^3  Assume turbine area is 1 M^2

    1.2 kg/m^3*1m^2*V=1.2*V kg/s= Mdot

    (3500/1.2)^.5=V=54 M/s

    Not very likely.

  5. Yes u can definetly relay on it, if u r in the coastal area near by sea shore.
