Homemade Wind Power by Layne Erickson

I found this fantastic set of YouTube videos on how to build your own wind turbine out of easily attainable and fairly inexpensive materials. Basically, it is made out of PVC, a used GM car alternator with new innards, and a few nuts and bolts. The video is broken down into three parts. Below are direct links to the three different videos:

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3


The person who built the wind generator is Layne Erickson. I think he did a fantastic job and put together a very, simple enough, but effective, turbine. I'm hoping to see more from him and also to find out how many of these that he has in action, especially with him powering all of the tools in his workshop.

As I find more of these types of presentations, I will post them as I come across them.

Enjoy!
