  1. Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live completely, 100% “off of the grid and are completely self sufficient”

    There are no utility lines, no water lines, no roads, tv, cell service, etc. on our ranch. EVERYTHING needed is produced here. All electricity comes from 27 solar panels, 2 main wind gens and a back hydrogen generator if needed (typically we can last 9 days with all luxuries of sunless windless weather, hasn't happened yet). Water is caught and storaged from the rain. Hot water is made with solar batch water heaters with an on-demand hydrogen hot water heater as backup. solar chimney, solar AC, solar heating, solar water heating (pool and home), solar stove, solar power, wind power, hydrogen powered back up generator, hydrogen back up water heater, hydrogen stove, 2 hydrogen powered trucks, 1 EV (electric vehicle) and satellite internet. Even our vehicles use alternative energy (2 hydrogen trucks, 1 EV electric vehicle converted). Because of this we have no bills, no debt and no mortgage.

    Electricity from the wind is one of the simplest forms of alternative energy. i've personally built over a dozen wind gens and currently run all my electrical needs off of 2 wind turbines and a couple dozen home made solar panels.

    Basically think of the little motor in your car (the alternator), but insted of it being turned by a belt driven by your car's engine powerd gas, it's turned by the wind.

    I offer a step by step DIY guide to walk anyone interested threw the process. You can find it at www agua-luna com or you can email me.

    The fallowing steps were taking directly out of a DIY guide I offer to those who would like to run their homes on wind power safely, reducing their monthly utility bills or even selling power back the the electrical companies. The entire guide is available at www agua-luna com

    "This manual is based on using a 260 VDC, 5 A continuous duty Treadmill Motor with a 6 inch threaded hub. These motors are available for under $50 from most motor surplus stores. We are getting about 7 amps in a 30 mph wind. In other words, it is a simple, cheap little machine to get you started.  "

    "ASSEMBLY

    1. Place the motor on top of the square tubing and bolt it in, using the two 5/16” x ¾” bolts.

    2. Place the diode on the square tubing, about 2” behind the motor, and s***w it into position using the self-tapping metal s***w.

    3. Connect the black wire coming out of the motor to the positive incoming terminal of the diode (Labeled AC on the positive side).

    4. Connect the red wire coming out of the motor to the negative incoming terminal of the diode (Labeled AC on the negative side).

    5. Center the tail over the square tubing, at the back end. Clamp your tail onto the side of the square tubing.

    6. Using 2 self-tapping screws, s***w the tail in place.

    7. Place each blade on the hub so that all the holes line up.  Using the ¼" bolts and washers, bolt the blades to the hub.  For the inner three holes, use two washers per bolt, one on each side of the blade. For the outer three holes, just use one washer next to the head of the bolt. Tighten.

    8. Hold the end of the shaft of the motor (which comes through the hub) firmly with pliers, and turn the hub counterclockwise until it tightens and stops.

    9. s***w the nipple tightly into the floor flange using a pipe wrench.

    10. Clamp the nipple in a vice so that the floor flange is facing up and level.

    11. Place the square tubing (and everything that is on it) on top of the floor flange and move it so that it is perfectly balanced.

    12. Through the holes of the floor flange, mark the square tubing at the point of balance.

    13. Drill these two holes using a 5/32" drill bit. You will probably have to take off the hub and tail to do this).

    14. Attach the square tubing to the floor flange with two sheet metal screws.

    For a longer life span of your wind generator, you should paint the blades, motor sleeve, mount and tail."

  2. With the number of turbines being installed each year, you should have no problem getting an opening level position.

    It would help if you have an electrical or mechanical background,
