3 Reasons Why Wind Turbines Are a Bad Idea For Home Use

So you have been looking at ways to make your own free electricity at home? Me too. Maybe you have been looking at making your own wind turbine for home use. Seems like a good idea at first, using natural wind to turn your wind turbine and make all that free electricity. I thought this sounded great also, until I looked into it a little closer. What I found is that these devices can be an extreme hazard to have around your home unless you have the right space for them and you really know what you are doing.

Here are three reasons why wind turbines are not a good idea for home use.

1. If you want to be able to have a system that can really save you some money it has to be sized correctly. Do you know how big the fan blades are so that they can adequately generate enough electricity for your house? The blades can be upwards of fifteen or twenty feet long. That's right, and you will need a big isolated area away from the house so that nobody gets hurt around these things. Sure don't want your kids around it.

2. You have to engineer the blades properly, and fabricate them correctly, or they can shear off. The blades are susceptible to breaking off in extreme high windy conditions, time when the blades see the most stress. Unless you really know what you are doing, and you understand material science, stress conditions, and welding technology, you probably won't have the blades built correctly. Ever see a blade fly off into the neighborhood.? I haven't, but I am sure it's not a pretty sight.

3. You have to have your system designed to handle dump loads. You see, the faster the wind the more electricity the turbine will produce. If you get too high a wind then your system can't handle all of that extra voltage and you have to design for it. You really have to know what you are doing or you can easily fry your system and your investment is no more.

So there you have it, three good reasons why wind power at home is a bad idea. There is an alternative that is simpler, safer, more reliable, and easy to make at home: magnetic power generators. You probably haven't heard much about them but you can make one at home in less than a day with parts and materials found at hour local home improvement store. Check into it, and I think you will see why magnetic power for home use is much safer than either solar or wind power.
