Between the 'green movement' and the recession people are very interested in finding new ways to save the planet and a little of their hard earned money.So the question: "Can I Make My Own Wind Turbine?" sort of follows automatically.

These turbines don't have to be the huge monstrosities you see in the field.Even a small turbine can help you save on your energy bill, though it won't be enough to provide enough electricity for your whole house.
If you have several turbines set up and you generate more electricity than you need it can be stored in inexpensive batteries to be used later, so on days when it's not windy you can use your 'saved up' electricity.
Any excess electricity can also be sold back to electric companies: wouldn't that be nice for a change, your utility company paying you instead of the other way around!
Making your own wind turbine is not only easy, it's inexpensive. There are many places where you can go to get easy do-it-yourself manuals that will walk through the whole process from start to finish.You can easily recoup the small investment in just a few months.
