Maker Workshop – Wind Power Generator on MAKE: television
Taking a motor from an old exercise treadmill and some PVC pipe, John Park constructs a wind-powered generator. The electrical power may not be enough to get your home off the grid, but the great thing about the project is how it explains in simple terms the technology involved in turning wind into free electricity.

How to hook up my stationary RV to wind turbine?
Hi folks. I recently built a wind turbine that generates about 400w of DC electricity. I’d like to hook it up to an RV that just sits on my property so that my wife can have a little retreat away from the kids and a place to run a sewing machine, which obviously uses AC […]

If this is not true engineering, i dont know what is……..magnificent sculptures are powered by the wind
wind turbine generator?
I’m making a small wind turbine for a science project. It doesn’t need to produce a lot of electricity, just enough to register on a multimeter. I just need to know: For the generator, are magnets and coils the only things I need for the turbine to generate electricity? Or is there something else I’m […]

Harnessing wind power?
I had a fan in my window, that was plugged in, but not turned on. The wind was making the blades spin. I thought for a second, “Is that generating power, going back into my wall?” Then I realized that, no, because it was turned off, the circuit wasn’t complete inside the fan. Then I […]

If you put a wind turbine on top of a skyscraper or other tall buildings?
could you generate enough energy to power the building or would the air be too thin? I would think that if it is possible someone would have thought of it already.

Solar pumps replacing windmills
Solar pumps replacing windmills ALCOVA, Wyo. — The pump installer toppled the old windmill in about an hour. First he scaled the wobbly 27-foot tower to stop the broken mill’s whirling blade and then pulled the underground pipe to make way for a new solar-powered electric pump. Read more on The News Journal

Are there limits to how fast the wind can be before you stop generating electricity?
this is a question about Wind turbines! THANK YOU!!!
Part 1 of 6. The aeromechanics of wind powered vehicles using rotors for energy conversion.
Theory and basic mechanisms that make wind turbine powered vehicles going directly upwind work are explained by Mac Gaunaa. Furthermore, it is shown that the same theory explain how and why DDFTTW (Directly downwind faster than the wind) work. This is part 1 of 6. The total length of the combined presentation (all six parts) […]
How do I go about getting a wind turbine for my home? What are the rules for this in the UK?
I’ve heard the government can give you a grant to help out and if you generate surplus electricty you can sell it to power companies. Is this true?
